Vision

We envision a sport and recreation system where:

• There is a firm and public commitment to the principle that lasting and meaningful athletic performance can only be achieved through fair means.
• Participants in sport and physical activity do so in a manner that adheres to the highest ethical principles.
• Athletes, coaches, officials, parents/guardians and spectators receive fair and ethical treatment of each other in a safe and welcoming sport environment, free of harassment and abuse.
• The sport system advances the widest array of athletic goals for all participants, with or without disability, free from discrimination and barriers based on personal circumstances.
• Spectators attend sporting events without being subjected to abuse, interference or violence from others.
• Coaches receive fair treatment and respect for their valuable contribution to sport, and are free of any and all forms of harassment and violence.
• Sport officials are respected for their decisions by athletes, coaches, parents/ guardians and spectators and are not interfered with in the execution of their duties.
• Sport volunteers are respected and recognized for their efforts to make sport participation possible and rewarding for participants of all ages.
• Parents/guardians are assured that their children participating in sport receive fair treatment from coaches, volunteers and spectators.
• There is treatment in cases of disputes and there are proper and accessible mechanisms available to resolve disputed issues through due process in a timely manner.
• Athletes, coaches and team officials representing Canada in the international sport arena conduct themselves, in both victory and defeat, in a manner that brings pride to all.
• Sport organizations in receipt of public funding are fully accountable for the use of such resources and are transparent and democratic in their organizational affairs.
