Ethnic groups share a distinctive cultural and historical tradition often associated with race, place of origin, ancestry, or creed. It refers to a person’s ethnic or cultural origins. Ethnic groups have a common identity, heritage, ancestry, or historical past, often with identifiable cultural, linguistic, and/or religious characteristics.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission has explained “race” as socially constructed differences among people based on characteristics such as accent or manner of speech, name, clothing, diet, belief and practices, leisure preferences, places of origin and so forth.
Religion and/or spiritual affiliation refers to professed system and confession of faith, including both beliefs and observances or worship. A belief in God or gods, or a single supreme being or deity is not a requisite.
Gender identity is defined as each person’s internal and individual experience of gender. It is a person’s sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum. A person’s gender identity may be the same as or different from their birth-assigned sex.
A disability is any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness. It can also refer to a condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability. It can also refer to a learning disability, or a dysfunction in one or more of the processes involved in understanding or using symbols or spoken language. A disability can also refer to a mental disorder. A disability may be the result of combinations of impairments and environmental barriers, such as attitudinal barriers, inaccessible information, an inaccessibly built environment or other barriers that affect people’s full participation in society.
