New Independent Safe Sport Mechanism is a Milestone for Positive Change

OTTAWA, July 6, 2021. The Government of Canada announced that the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC) has been selected to establish and deliver a new Independent Safe Sport Mechanism. The Sport Information Resource Centre (SIRC) congratulates the SDRCC and thanks the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage, Parliamentary Secretary Adam van Koeverden, and all stakeholders and participants that have helped the sport system reach this important milestone in making sport safer in Canada.

“Canada continues to make safety in sport a top priority and the SDRCC is very well positioned to provide this much needed, and important service for athletes and participants in sport” says Debra Gassewitz, SIRC President and CEO. “It’s not over, there’s a lot more work to do, but this sets a strong foundation for positive change.”
