The CCES is responsible for the independent administration of the UCCMS through the application of the CSSP Rules for federally funded, national-level sport organizations.
In assuming the mandate for safe sport in Canada, the CCES stepped back and reviewed its organizational strategy and structure so that it is fit for purpose as a broader sport integrity agency. While this work is ongoing, below are a few important updates.
The CCES stands firmly with the global anti-doping community to condemn the Enhanced Games, and to highlight the value of sport that is safe, inclusive, fair, clean and accessible.
