A new episode from the Indigenous Human Rights Podcast! Our hosts, Daniel Jolic and Brianna Brumen, talk to Jennifer Hawn and Andrew Camman, the lawyers who represented Billy Kenney at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal in his quest for justice. Ms. Hawn and Mr. Camman outline the discrimination Mr. Kenney faced while teaching at the Thames Valley District School Board, and how he was inadequately supported by his employer after he reported that discrimination. We also discuss their experience representing Mr. Kenney at the tribunal’s hearing, and their success not only in securing monetary damages for their client but also in ensuring systemic change at the school board. We also examine the steps folks can take if they are experiencing discrimination from their employer.
