OTTAWA – Cricket Canada is back in the Canadian Safe Sport Program.

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced Monday that Cricket Canada’s contract to participate in the program had been reinstated, effective Friday.

The CCES had suspended Cricket Canada from the program Wednesday for failing to meet participant e-learning and consent requirements.

But on Monday, the CCES said the reinstatement “is due to Cricket Canada now meeting the requirement of participants completing the mandatory e-learning module and consent form, a critical obligation under the adoption contract.

“The CCES recognizes the swift and concerted effort since that date by Cricket Canada to fulfil its outstanding CSSP requirements.”

That means those identified as CSSP participants by Cricket Canada can access the CSSP report process and protections.

The CCES took on the management of safe sport in Canada from the shuttered Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner on April 1, when it became the CCES’s job to manage and investigate complaints and reports of abuse and maltreatment in sport.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 20, 2025.
