There are several different ways to find and use the information
on this Web site.
Navigation
Navigating or browsing the CHRT Web site is quite
simple. Use the top navigation bar by clicking on any of
the blue or black buttons to go to the page it represents.
You can also click on any of the titles in the left menu
bar and go directly to the information that you have chosen.
If you click on the black button entitled "Canada Site,"
located in the top navigation bar, you will leave the Tribunal
site and go to the home page of the Government of Canada
site. Click on the "Back to Home" located in the
left menu bar to return to the home page of the CHRT.
Format of Content
Most of the content and documents on this Web site are available
in HTML format. Some documents are also available in their
original format of PDF (Portable Document Format). You will
need Adobe
Acrobat Reader to view these documents.
Site Map
For a quick view of what can be found on our Web site, take
a look at the site map. It provides
a hierarchical list of the main topics that appear under
each of the buttons in the top navigation bar and left-hand
menus.
Search
The search function allows you to perform basic searches
of the entire CHRT Web site or more specialized searches
of databases containing Tribunal cases,
interim rulings and
final decisions.
Simply type one or more keywords into the "box" on the
search page, and then hit the "Search" button. Our server
will then look for any "matches" with your query within
the CHRT database and show you a list of results. Your search
can be further refined or narrowed by selecting specific
dates or grounds of discrimination.
By default, this search engine looks for the exact phrase
you typed in.
Typing multiple words will only find results that match
all of the words in that exact sequence, except in
some cases common words like a, and, the, etc.
Use AND or OR between multiple words, unless you are looking
for an exact phrase. In a case or decision search,
for example, you can enter the name of a complainant or
respondent, the operator AND and a subsequent keyword, (e.g.,
Smith AND surveillance).
Helpful Hints:
- The CHRT Search Engine is not case or accent sensitive.
- Attaching an asterisk (*) to the right-hand side of
a word will return pages with words beginning with the
letters that precede the asterisk. This search will not
recognize partial word matches unless you use an asterisk
at the end of the partial word (for example, searching
for compla* will return complainant, complaints, complaint,
etc.).
- Punctuation marks such as the period (.), colon (:),
semicolon (;), and comma (,) are ignored during a search.
- To use specially-treated characters ( (&), (|), (^),
(#), (@), ($), ((), ()) ) in a query, enclose your query
in quotes (").
