Program Notes & Changes

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. 

As of April 1, 2025, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) will independently administer the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) for federally funded national sport organizations through the CSSP. The CCES receives and responds to reports about individuals who may have engaged in prohibited behaviour under the UCCMS.

The UCCMS commits the Canadian sport sector to advancing a respectful sport culture that delivers quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming, and safe sport experiences. The CSSP is similarly committed to advancing this fundamental goal.

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.
