Hi there what is your question?

Ok so. This may be a case of discrimination. The employer must accommodate you until the point of undue hardship.
You can make an application to the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission if the problem cannot be resolved privately. They may force the employer to allow you to do the job that you are capable of doing. This is the low-risk option, even though you may ruin the relationship between yourself and the employer.
The other option is to claim wrongful dismissal based on constructive dismissal and discrimination. This is the more extreme option as if you fail to make your case, you would have been deemed to quit your job.
At this point, if you are considering going with either of these routes, I would recommend speaking with an employment lawyer.
I hope this is enough to get you started.
