Background
In July 2021, the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (“Centre”) was granted the mandate, by the Government of Canada, to implement and administer the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (“UCCMS”) at the national level. On June 20, 2022, the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (“OSIC”) launched its first phase of operations and Canada’s new independent safe sport mechanism became Abuse-Free Sport.
Abuse-Free Sport Webinar Series Overview
The OSIC, in collaboration with the Centre, will be hosting a five-part Abuse-Free Sport Webinar Series (“Series”) which will include two (2) conversations with the Sport Integrity Commissioner (“Commissioner”) and three (3) webinars. The Series aims to extend dialogue between the Commissioner and the Canadian sport community by providing information and welcoming commentary on aspects of the Abuse-Free Sport program.
