Montreal (Quebec) – The Summer 2024 issue of In the Neutral Zone, the newsletter of the Sport
Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada, is now available online at: crdsc-sdrcc.ca/eng/media-newsletters.
This edition features an article that delves into the Abuse-Free Sport Registry (Registry), which
recently launched at the end of March. Highly anticipated, the Registry is an important
safeguarding tool available to the public and an important step in ensuring safer experiences for
the full community.
The newsletter also profiles arbitrators Dana Hirsh and Ambrosia Varaschin, who are the first wave
of graduates from the SDRCC’s Women in Arbitration Mentorship Program. Read further to meet
new personnel and take note of upcoming events.
