Emily Mclennan, who drops by 1515 Lakeshore Rd. E., in Mississauga, Ont., with her service dog Honey about once a week, had told the board through a lawyer last week that the new rules violate the Ontario Human Rights Code, and gave them until Monday to expunge them or face legal action.
Deborah Howden, a condo law specialist at the Toronto law firm Shibley Righton LLP, remarked, 'Rules have to be reasonable, as do bylaws. If they are not reasonable, they are not enforceable.'
David Lepofsky, chairman of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance, emphasized, 'People with service animals must be accommodated under the Ontario Human Rights Code.'
Mclennan expresses, 'This feels like a witch hunt against my service dog,' highlighting her personal struggle against the condo board's restrictions.
