Legal Rights and Advocacy for People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) with Lila Refaie.

In this episode of Footprints & Impacts, we are joined by Lila Refaie, Bilingual Staff Lawyer at the ARCH Disability Law Centre to discuss the legal challenges faced by individuals with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Lila shares her expertise on disability rights, including the legal protections available to people with MCS under the Canadian and Ontario Human Rights Act. 

We explore workplace accommodations and the importance of scent-free policies, as well as how the law can support those with MCS in overcoming barriers to accessibility and inclusion. Tune in for a deep dive into the intersection of disability law and environmental health, with practical insights on how individuals can advocate for their rights. This episode is also available in French, thanks to Lila's dedication to accessibility.
