Ontario Human Rights Code. It is the responsibility of the Grand River Conservation Authority to provide a work environment that is free from harassment and discrimination based on race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, record of offences, marital status, family status or handicap in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code.

(2) “a sexual advance or solicitation made by a person who is in a position to grant or deny a benefit to another.”
(3) “a person who is in a position to grant or deny a benefit threatens or institutes a reprisal against the person who rejected his or her sexual advance.” Denying a promotion or firing an employee who has refused a sexual proposition is an example of this type of harassment.

The time limits set out in Article 9 - Grievance Procedure do not apply to complaints under this Article, provided that the complaint is made within a reasonable time of the alleged incident, having regard to all the circumstances.
