Surrey couple claims human rights violated by smoking neighbour

Surrey couple claims human rights violated by smoking neighbour

The couple says, under the human rights code, they were discriminated against “regarding an accommodation, service or facility customarily available to the public because of their physical disabilities,” according to a decision by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.
From July 2009 until July 2010 the Arndts made several complaints to the strata council claiming that Puffer and her guests smoked on a patio, in a parking area and in other places near their apartment, On one occasion, Kathryn alleges the smoke triggered an asthma attack so severe that she had to go to the hospital for treatment, according to the decision.



Shock and awe again.
I should be used to the feeling by now and yet I am still shocked,still amazed.
