Safe Sport Line

Sport Manitoba takes its commitment to athlete safety very seriously and has established a Safe Sport Line 365 days of the year to ensure community members participating in sport have an appropriate outlet to report abuse. In Manitoba, the law requires that anyone who suspects a child may be in danger must report their concerns. The Safe Sport line can assist you in filing that report.
