The Baseline Project is a multi-year initiative by BC’s Office of the Human Rights Commissioner (BCOHRC) that aims to evaluate the current state of human rights in the province of British Columbia.
This project will work to map the state of human rights across British Columbia for the purpose of achieving positive impacts on human rights priorities. Together, we aim to identify top human rights priorities and solutions, and to better monitor and evaluate change over time.
Community Briefs
One of Baseline’s main resources has been developed!
Our Community Briefs provide in-depth analysis of pressing human rights issues, contexts and solutions in each of the four communities (Chetwynd, Chilliwack, Cranbrook, Terrace) participating in the project.
Our database is launched!
As of September 28, 2023, we are proud to launch the Baseline Recommendations Database. This resource is a living database that anyone can use to search human rights recommendations in B.C.
Currently, the database contains more than 1,700 recommendations from over 70 reports focused on human rights issues in the province. The database will grow as we receive and process reports. Get started below or learn how to search the recommendations database.
