MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIR
As we reflect on the past year, we are proud of the advancements the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport has made to protect and promote sport integrity across our three program areas. At the heart of our mission is a simple but powerful belief: that all participants deserve a sport environment that is safe, fair, and clean.
This year has brought both exiting challenges and consistent progress. We continued to strengthen our anti-doping testing and education programs and worked closely with national and international partners to ensure that anti-doping efforts are as effective and efficient as possible. Clean sport is only possible with the trust and cooperation of the athlete community, and we are deeply grateful for their ongoing support.
We made steady progress with our initiatives to prevent competition manipulation, specifically a national policy for Canadian sport. We had the benefit of learning from other well-established national and international programs, and we’re grateful for the knowledge gleaned through these connections.
Perhaps most importantly, we prepared to launch the new Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP) on April 1, 2025, and it is now the place to report concerns of maltreatment involving participants who are part of national, federally funded sport organizations. This achievement was preceded by a year of intensive preparation that was completed thanks to substantial engagement with a wide variety of interested parties.
We would like to thank the dedicated CCES staff, our Board of Directors, the sport community – from local to international, and the countless individuals who contributed to our successes.
Our work is made possible thanks to the ongoing support from the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage and Sport Canada.
To provide the sport community with regular updates about our activities and program developments, we shared two progress reports this year. These reports, our annual audited financial statement, and this message combine to represent our 2024-2025 annual report.
As we look ahead, we look forward to strong strategic relationships and remain steadfast in our commitment to uphold the integrity of sport.
