1The applicant filed an Application under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), on June 8, 2009.

2On May 26, 2010, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Mediation to the parties confirming that mediation of the Application would take place on August 31, 2010 at the Quality Inn Bay Front, 180 Bay Street, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The Notice was mailed to the applicant’s address provided in the Application and was not returned as undeliverable.

3The applicant did not attend the scheduled mediation session on August 31, 2010 and did not communicate with the Tribunal to explain the failure to attend.

4On June 17, 2011, the Tribunal wrote to the applicant directing that she advise it of her intentions with respect to the Application. The letter warned the applicant that a failure to respond to the letter in writing by July 4, 2011 may be deemed an abandonment of the Application.

5As of the date of this Decision the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal and the Tribunal’s correspondence to her has not been returned.

6In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
