Jamie McGinnis: Discrimination on Public Transit – Nakogee v. North Bay Transit


Listen Later

A new episode from the Indigenous Human Rights Podcast! Our hosts, Daniel Jolic and Brianna Brumen, talk to lawyer Jamie McGinnis from the Human Rights Legal Support Centre, who represented the Nakogees at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario in their fight for justice against the North Bay Transit Service. We examine the discrimination that the Nakogees endured while attempting to access a public transit bus, and the strength it took for them to speak out against this discrimination. We also highlight the work they undertook with Ms. McGinnis and the Human Rights Legal Support Centre to hold North Bay Transit accountable.
