"A landmark human rights case involving a nine-year-old transgender girl will be heard in Winnipeg this summer.

The parents of Isabella "Bella" Burgos confirmed to CBC News that the Manitoba Human Rights Commission has scheduled a public hearing for July 11-15.

"We still don't know what the specifics are of what's happening on these days, but we are coming back to Winnipeg [to] attend," her father, Dale Burgos, said Tuesday from the family's current home in Nanaimo, B.C.

"I feel mixed that we have a date set. I'm glad, but it's unfortunate that we even had to make it to this point.""
