Abuse-Free Sport Registry Launch
 

- Abuse-Free Sport Registry Launch -  We are pleased to announce that the Abuse-Free Sport Registry is now live and accessible via the OSIC website. The Abuse-Free Sport Registry catalogues participants subject to the UCCMS whose eligibility to participate in sport has in some way been restricted due to provisional measures and/or sanctions imposed as part of, or as a result of, the Abuse-Free Sport complaint management process. It is not a comprehensive list of all individuals named in all reports received by the OSIC, nor does it include respondents subject to other types of sanctions and provisional measures, such as education and training. This is an important step forward in our shared mission of a safer, more respectful and more enjoyable sport experience for the Canadian community. Please find attached the press release regarding this launch, for your reference. The Policy regarding the Abuse-Free Sport Registry is available here. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. Sincerely, The Abuse-Free Sport team
