Canadian Job Posting Compliance

John Y. - November 29, 2017

We are considering acquiring a company in Ontario, Canada. Does Canadian or Provincial law require the use of EEO type taglines or other mandatory information when posting job opportunities? To my knowledge, the targeted firm does not engage in any contract work with either Provincial or Federal governments.
Thanks.

I do not believe that Ontario requires a tagline. I have found its Human Rights Commission website to be helpful in the past. http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/iv-human-rights-issues-all-stages-employment/3-advertising I am not familiar with requirements of other Provinces or Canadian law.
