The Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner has made public a registry of people barred or provisionally suspended from participating in sport.
The establishment of a public searchable database of individuals who have been sanctioned under the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent Abuse and Maltreatment in Sport , or whose eligibility to participate in sport has been restricted, was announced in June 2023 by former federal sports minister Pascale St-Onge.
"It provides another tool to the general public with regard to safeguarding against maltreatment, while also contributing to the deterrence and denunciation of maltreatment and helping prevent reoccurrence.” The registry"is not a comprehensive list of all individuals named in all reports received by the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner, nor does it include respondents subject to other types of sanctions and provisional measures, such as education and training," the statement said.
"Its launch today is the fruit of several months of research, analysis and design to ensure compliance with applicable law, and particularly Canadian privacy laws." But cases involving minors or other vulnerable people will be considered for inclusion in the registry on a case-by-case basis"taking into account the sensitivity of personal information," according to OSIC's website.
