The Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD), a national advocacy association of persons with disabilities working in support of disability rights, is conducting qualitative research on the experiences of people with disabilities who have sought assistance within the last three years from the Canadian Human Rights Commission to resolve a complaint of discrimination.

The researchers, Yvonne Peters, disability rights lawyer, and April D'Aubin, Research Analyst, are looking for people with disabilities who would be willing to be interviewed about their experiences. Interviews will be used solely as a means of collecting information and will not be reproduced as part of the research. In addition, names of participants along with personal contact information will be kept confidential.

The Canadian Human Rights Commission has recently changed the way it is organized and introduced new policies and procedures for handling complaints of discrimination. The purpose of the research is to identify difficulties and improvements that people with disabilities have encountered in filing a complaint with the Commission and to assess whether the changes made by the Commission address these difficulties.

If you are interested in participating in this research please phone or email (Tel: 204-947-0303 or email: april@ccdonline.ca).
