OTTAWA,
ON, Sept. 10, 2024 /CNW/ - The Future of Sport
in Canada Commission today
launches a public online submission portal to gather input
from athletes, parents, coaches, officials, administrators,
academics, victims and survivors of maltreatment in sport and
others to identify ways to improve safe sport and the sport system
in Canada.
The portal is now open. Canadians are encouraged to share their
experiences and perspectives with the Commission.
Headed by former Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice Lise Maisonneuve, the Commission was formed in
May 2024. Over the coming months, the
Commission will be seeking input to bring to light the experiences,
causes, and impacts of inappropriate behaviour and maltreatment
encountered in sport. The Commission will consider how to improve
the sport system in Canada by
examining a broad range of issues, including, but not limited to
policy, funding structures, governance, reporting, accountability,
systems alignment, conflicts of interest, culture, and legal
considerations.
The Commission's website includes additional information
about the Commission, its terms of reference and its work.
