When remedial action requires discipline of a member, volunteer or guest, a record of the disciplinary action will be kept with the executive.
This internal procedure is available to individuals to resolve complaints of discrimination. Parties also have recourse to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, however, once a grievance is filed with OHRC, the internal procedure is not an option.
