A man filed a complaint about Ontario Health’s job postings.

A man filed a complaint about Ontario Health’s job postings. The link for applications transferred job seekers to a third-party site. That site and the job postings on it were in English only. A message at the end of each job description indicated that the French version would be available shortly. No such description was ever posted.

Ontario Health informed us that this was due to a technical posting issue and committed to improving the process. Each position posted in the future will be assessed, and it will be determined on a case-by-case basis if the position requires French language skills. Requirements will be based on the obligations related to the French Language Services Act and the obligations of the organization. If a need is identified, the position will be posted in both languages.

Learn more about the French Language Services Unit which answers questions and takes complaints about services in French.
