Appeal Request Form

What You Need to Know:

Review the Residence Community Living Standards here for complete information on timelines, rules, outcomes, and resolution procedures. You can submit an appeal using the form below, it will automatically be sent to the appropriate manager for review.

Disagreeing with the original decision is not sufficient on its own for an appeal. You must provide evidence supporting one of the following reasons for an appeal:

  • Bias: You think the outcome is unreasonable given the behaviour involved
    Select this option if you think the decision-maker was biased against you and this impacted their decision. You can also select this if you would like to suggest an alternate outcome because the one assigned will have unreasonable impact on you.
  • Procedural Fairness: You think the decision-maker did not comply the Principles of Natural Justice and Procedural Fairness, which may have affected the decision.
    Select this option if you think the original decision-maker did not follow the process outlined in the RCLS and if they had, you think they may have made a different decision.
  • New Information: You have new information that was unavailable at the time of the original decision.
    Select this option if there is information or evidence you can share that the original decision-maker did not, and could not, have known about.
