The recent avalanche of athlete complaints about maltreatment and abuse, including sexual abuse, in their sports threw Canadian sport into crisis
OTTAWA — Canada's sport minister has announced a slate of reforms to address the safe sport crisis, but former athletes and opposition politicians are reiterating demands for a national inquiry to be held.
AthletesCAN, the association of Canada’s national team athletes, the Canadian Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission and the Canadian Paralympic Committee Athletes’ Council said they're pleased with the move from the federal government. Amelia Cline, a former gymnast and co-founder of Gymnasts for Change Canada, told The Canadian Press that the funding isn't enough.
There has been a change in the perspective of Canadians when it comes to safe sport in the last year, Duncan said, adding that she thinks there is a groundswell of support for a national inquiry.
