Purpose of this Training?

The purpose of this training is to increase awareness of how to remedy discrimination using more familiar Canadian human rights laws such as Human Rights Codes and the newer international Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Our aim is to reach people with disabilities who are willing to make a commitment to share their knowledge with peers in their communities and organizations, primarily focusing on youth with disabilities and people with disabilities from ethno-cultural communities.

Learning Objectives

	To increase the number of Canadians with disabilities, particularly youth with disabilities and people with disabilities from ethno-cultural communities, who are knowledgeable about available human rights remedies to discrimination and how to access these remedies.
	To increase capacity of Canadians with disabilities to share that knowledge with their peers so that more people across Canada (particularly youth with disabilities and multi-ethnic communities) will have information necessary to navigate the systems where Canadians can seek redress for discrimination.
