Ottawa – August 14, 2025 – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) is pleased to release the Canadian Safe Sport Program’s (CSSP) first Quarterly Snapshot. The snapshot shares data collected from the CSSP’s first three months of operations. It provides a transparent look at CSSP activities, what is being reported, and the challenges facing safe sport in Canada.
“When we assumed the mandate for safe sport, we promised transparent and consistent communication—both with the sport community and publicly. This snapshot is one of many tools helping us deliver on that commitment,” said Jeremy Luke, CCES President and Chief Executive Officer.
Prior to the launch of the CSSP, the CCES conducted an extensive, multi-phase consultation process across and outside of the sport community. Surveys, public meetings, and individual feedback from athlete groups, survivor and advocacy groups, subject matter experts, sport organizations, and more provided crucial insight while we were building a new safe sport program for national-level, federally funded sport participants.
It also informed our evolution toward a comprehensive sport integrity agency, as outlined in our recently released strategic plan. “Making Sport Safe” is one of four strategic priorities detailed therein, and this snapshot is another step toward that goal.
