IMPORTANT PROGRAM UPDATE:

The Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC) was responsible to administer the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) from June 20, 2022 to July 31, 2025. 

By order of the Minister responsible for sport in December 2023, the OSIC is no longer operating. The information available on this website therefore only applies to complaints/reports that were previously investigated under the authority of the OSIC.

For all other matters at the national level, please consult this link to access the new Canadian Safe Sport Program.

About OSIC

The OSIC operated as an independent division of the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC). The SDRCC was created by the Physical Activity and Sport Act (S.C. 2003, c.2) (the “Act”) with the mandate to provide to the sport community: a) a national alternative dispute resolution service for sport disputes; and, b) expertise and assistance regarding alternative dispute resolution. The SDRCC was mandated by the Government of Canada, on July 6, 2021, to establish an independent safe sport mechanism to implement the UCCMS at the national level.

This mandate led to the creation of the OSIC and, more broadly, to a large array of other initiatives of the Abuse-Free Sport program to prevent maltreatment in sport, to better equip the sport community to offer safe and secure sport environments, as to support parties during complaint processes. Most of these tools and resources can still be accessed here.

As a functionally independent division of the SDRCC, the OSIC was responsible to administer the UCCMS as illustrated in the organigram below.
