PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
The Board is updating its practices and procedures and continues to prioritize digital transformation and innovation as it modernizes its services. At this time, the Board continues to conduct its proceedings electronically via videoconferencing and teleconferencing.
The Board is also working to safely accommodate limited in-person proceedings. Accommodation requests and very complex matters may be scheduled for in-person proceedings on a case-by-case basis. While the Board encourages electronic formats of proceedings, it will ensure that people have access to services when accommodation is needed.
The Board recommends that all requests for appeal and review, submissions, materials, and inquiries be sent via email to hsarb@ontario.ca or faxed to HSARB at 416-327-8524.
Alternatively, you may contact the Board via regular mail, courier or by leaving a message at 416-327-8512.
