Montréal (Québec) – The Board of Directors of the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) has adopted a new Canadian Sport Dispute Resolution Code (Code) which will come into effect on October 1, 2023.
This review was intended to adapt the text to the new terminology specific to the Abuse-FreeSport program for the management of Safeguarding Tribunal cases. Most of the changes are therefore found in Article 8 of the Code.
The changes to the Code mean that the SDRCC will no longer offer the services of the Safeguarding Tribunal to sport organizations that are not signatories of Abuse-Free Sport.
The new Code is now available on the SDRCC website.
