Community Organizer: Number and Tenants

community organizer: Of the 767 complaint cases opened over 10 years, one-third were based on ethnic origin and skin colour, according to CBC. Jonathan Carmichael, a community organizer with the tenants' rights group BAIL, said that's only a fraction of the actual number of landlords refusing tenants for ethnic reasons. Since 2011, the number of complaints increased by 35 per cent compared to the five-year period from 2006 to 2011, the commission's annual report noted. It's definitely the tip of the iceberg, he said. There are very few tenants who will file a complaint. In fact, the number of tenants who experience discrimination is much higher than that.
