A girl was excluded from playing in the boys Hockey league by the Ontario Hockey Association . She was unable to bring a claim against the OHA because the Ontario Human Rights Code contained a provision that allowed male-only sports teams and since the OHA was a private organization the ''Charter'' did not apply to it. Instead she challenged the constitutionality of the provision of the Human Rights Code as a violation of the equality provision of the ''Charter''. The Court held that the exception for sports teams violated Section 15 of the ''Charter'' and struck down the provision. SEE ALSO |
