Future of Sport in Canada Commission – Cross-Country Hearings
The Future of Sport in Canada Commission has announced its schedule for its cross-country hearings. The Commission will consult with victims and survivors of maltreatment in sport, as well as subject-matter experts, academics, advocates, stakeholders, sport participants (including athletes, parents, coaches, administrators and other support personnel) and the Canadian public about their experience in and with sport. The Commission’s objective is to:
- identify the experiences, causes, and impacts of inappropriate behaviour and maltreatment; and
- determine how to improve the sport system in Canada on issues related to policy, funding structures, governance, reporting, accountability, conflicts of interest, systems alignment and culture.
The consultation schedule is as follows:
- Toronto, Ontario: October 31 and November 1, 2024
- Regina, Saskatchewan: November 12 to 15, 2024
- Québec City, Québec: November 18 and 19, 2024
- Montréal, Québec: November 20 to 22, 2024
- Winnipeg, Manitoba: November 25 and 26, 2024
- Calgary, Alberta: November 27 to 29, 2024
- Victoria, British Columbia: December 2 and 3, 2024
- Vancouver, British Columbia: December 4 to 6, 2024
- Halifax, Nova Scotia: December 10 to 13, 2024
