Sport is one of Canada’s greatest collective passions. When sport is ethical, it enables all stakeholders to achieve their full potential and to enjoy the many benefits associated with being involved in a positive sport experience. Ethical sport also serves to protect all stakeholders from the negative effects and harms associated with unethical behaviours, including doping, maltreatment, exclusion, violence, competition manipulation, and various forms of corruption.
The CCES monitors emerging ethical issues that are threats to Canadian sport, and supports stakeholders to respond and develop solutions that address the issues.
