Following a finding that the respondents discriminated against the complainant by refusing her the opportunity to play on a boys' hockey team because of her sex, the Board of Inquiry determined the terms of the formal order.
The Board ordered that all advertising material for the respondents' hockey programs must prominently indicate that eligibility is available to members of both sexes.
The Board also awarded the complainant $3,000 in damages for mental anguish and lost opportunity, as well as compensation for hockey school expenses incurred after she was unlawfully denied the opportunity to play, noting that damages could only be awarded for conduct occurring after the Human Rights Code was amended to prohibit such discrimination.
