The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario has ruled that the City of North Bay's transit department discriminated against the Indigenous Nakogee family by refusing them bus service due to their appearance. The family was awarded $45,000 in compensation. The tribunal criticized the transit system's inadequate response to the complaint and ordered an expert-led training program on racial discrimination and Indigenous cultural competence for all staff.
