OTTAWA – Sport Integrity Canada has expanded its public registry of people sanctioned under the Canadian Safe Sport Program.
The agency, formerly the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, has taken over the management of complaints and reports of maltreatment in sport from the shuttered Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC).
The registry expansion has been realigned to include people under sanction whose cases were handled by OSIC before the handover, and also those whose cases were handled through a national sport organization’s own safe sport process.
“A comprehensive and credible registry is fundamental to safe sport,” said Sport Integrity Canada chief executive officer Jeremy Luke in a statement Thursday.
“This Phase 1 expansion strengthens national alignment, reduces fragmentation of sanction information, and reinforces the protective intent of serious eligibility restrictions.”
There were 33 sanctioned individuals and one under provisional sanctions on Thursday.
“The government of Canada is committed to maintaining a safe sport system that is transparent and accountable for everyone involved,” said Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden in a statement.
“The expansion of the Canadian Safe Sport Program public registry will provide resources and close gaps, which will build a safer and more transparent environment for all participants.”
However, the registry does not include all sanctioned individuals because participation by national sport organizations in the expansion is voluntary.
Sport Integrity Canada said that 13 of 93 organizations have yet to support enhanced registry alignment. They’re either still assessing the request, indicated they won’t voluntarily provide information, or haven’t responded.
