A transgender woman from St. Catharines who filmed police demanding her "deadname" has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO), seeking better training for police and compensation.

Sabrina Hill was filming a web video at the St. Catharines bus terminal on Dec. 17, 2023, when officers with Niagara regional police approached her, prompting a back-and-forth between Hill and one of the officers.

"What's your deadname?" asks an officer later identified in the documents as Const. Ashley Del Duca.
