The Canadian Sport Helpline is a national toll-free helpline offering assistance to victims or witnesses of harassment, abuse or discrimination in sport. https://cces.ca/report-safe-sport
"Everyone has the right to train and compete in safe, respectful, and supportive environments. We believe Canada’s sport system should prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
This is the intention of the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS), which clearly defines prohibited behaviours for anyone subject to the code. For sport participants to be protected, there has to be a way for individuals who engage in unacceptable conduct to be held accountable.
As of April 1, 2025, that became the responsibility of the CCES. Through the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP), we receive and respond to reports of prohibited behaviour under the UCCMS committed by individuals who are part of national, federally funded sport organizations. We have established the CSSP Rules to clearly and publicly set out how we do that, including defined timelines at each stage of the reporting process. The CSSP also offers support services to connect participants with help along the way.
We are committed to providing a safe, timely, reliable and procedurally fair environment for anyone involved in a report of maltreatment. Everyone connecting with our team will be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion." - Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport https://cces.ca/safesport
