OTTAWA – The Canadian Center for Integrity in Sport has removed Cricket Canada from the Canadian Safe Sport Program.

The suspension was due to failure to comply with e-learning and participant consent requirements, CCES said in a statement Wednesday.

The Canadian Center for Ethics in Sport took over the governance of safe sport in Canada from the closed office of the Sports Integrity Commissioner on April 1, when the CCES's mission became the management and investigation of complaints and reports of abuse and mistreatment in sport.
CCES said it has since worked with Cricket Canada to adopt the Canadian Safe Sport Program, which included participants completing a mandatory 40-minute e-learning module and signing a consent form to ensure participants understood their rights and responsibilities under the Safe Sport Program.

“The necessary requirements have not yet been met,” CCES said in a statement, adding that both Cricket Canada and Sport Canada have been notified.
“Without these foundational requirements, CCES may not be able to process safe sport reports involving individuals from these organizations. These obligations are designed to protect all participants and reinforce the sporting community's collective responsibility for maintaining safe sport standards.”
Cricketers no longer have access to CCES reporting mechanisms or protections and should contact Cricket Canada for options, CCES said.
If the outstanding commitments are met, CCES said it would reinstate the national sport organization to the Canadian Safe Sport Program and make that information public.
Cricket Canada did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
