Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner
IMPORTANT PROGRAM UPDATE:
Complaints/reports submitted after January 31, 2025, will not be administered or investigated through the Abuse-Free Sport Program. Cases received after that date will be, however, assessed to evaluate whether provisional measures are required in the interim period. Complaints/reports received on or after February 1, 2025, will be shared with the CCES when the new Canadian Safe Sport Program launches on April 1, 2025. Click here for more information.
Led by Sport Integrity Commissioner, the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC) serves as the central hub of Abuse-Free Sport.
The OSIC administers complaints related to violations of the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address and Prevent Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) alleged against designated participants in sport organizations that sign on to the Abuse-Free Sport Program. In particular, it is responsible for complaint intake, and manages admissible complaints through to the completion of an independent investigation, where warranted.
In addition to its role within the complaint management process, the OSIC has the authority to conduct Sport Environment Assessments to investigate systemic issues within organizations.
The OSIC also acts as content expert to assist the Resource Centre's staff of the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada in the development of education and prevention tools and resources, for capacity-building within sport organizations, as well as support services, such as legal aid and mental health referrals.
The OSIC is responsible for maintaining a sanctions registry.
