- The tribunal may award compensation or order reinstatement.

## Summary

An Ontario school-bus driver, identified as L.Z., has filed a human rights complaint alleging he was dismissed because of discrimination related to his gender identity, sex and ethnic origin. The case follows a 2025 confrontation with parents after footage showed him wearing a pink schoolgirl-style outfit while driving a route reportedly labelled “The Lolita Line”. The complaint raises questions about how employment rights and student transport concerns will be considered by the tribunal.

L.Z. filed the complaint on 16 March against the York Catholic District School Board and his former employer, Landmark Bus Lines. The board said the driver would no longer transport pupils to the school and apologised to parents after the video circulated. L.Z. sought anonymity, citing safety threats and discriminatory labels, and the tribunal granted a publication ban on 13 October. The complaint’s full allegations and future hearing dates are unclear; possible remedies include compensation for lost wages and benefits, or reinstatement.
