The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has entered a new era with our 2025-2028 strategic plan: Sport Integrity.
For over 20 years, we’ve been the country’s anti-doping agency and have recently been leading the charge to address competition manipulation. In 2025, we took on a new responsibility to develop and implement a national-level safe sport program to address what is arguably one of the biggest integrity issues in sport today.
To be prepared for this new program, and to take on the role of sport integrity authority in Canada, we reviewed our current strategic plan, along with our organizational strategy and structure.
Our new strategic plan is focused on advancing safe, clean, and fair sport through three primary program areas: safe sport, anti-doping, and competition manipulation. It also incorporates our commitment to education and prevention and considers how we may respond to emerging threats to sport integrity as our role evolves.

Our Mission
To serve the public interest by protecting integrity in sport through:
- regulation of maltreatment and abuse, doping, and competition manipulation;
- education for awareness and understanding of our strategic priorities; and
- identification of and response to emerging opportunities and threats.
Our Vision
Sport is safe, inclusive, fair, clean, and accessible.
Our Strategic Priorities
Preventing and addressing maltreatment and abuse in sport via the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP).
The CSSP receives and responds to reports of prohibited behaviour under the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport committed by individuals who are part of national, federally funded sport organizations.
Preventing and addressing competition manipulation in sport via the Canadian Program to Prevent Competition Manipulation (CPPCM).
The CPPCM is designed to protect against efforts to improperly impact sport competitions by establishing rules and clearly defining violations. It is supported by a consistent scheme of education, enforcement, and sanctions that apply to all individuals subject to the program.
Preventing and addressing doping in sport via the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP).
The CADP ensures the accountability and transparency of all aspects of anti-doping including medical exemptions, testing, results and appeals — all in compliance with the mandatory elements of the World Anti-Doping Program. It's designed to prevent, deter and detect doping and serves to protect the integrity of sport and the rights of clean athletes.
Proactive Monitoring and Engagement
 | We actively monitor the national and global sport environments to identify emerging opportunities and threats with respect to integrity. We then engage as appropriate to protect and promote sport integrity in Canada. |
To understand how our work will be guided by our values and commitments, as we move towards sport integrity — one measurable outcome at a time, read the 2025-2028 Strategic Plan.
