Alberta Safe Sport Announcement
We are pleased to announce that the Alberta Sailing Association (ASA) is currently implementing the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM). Previously, ASA’s Safe Sport policies and processes were under the umbrella of Sail Canada, our National Sport Organization, and they will continue to be our partner should there be a complaint outside of Alberta’s borders. Within Alberta, there is legislation that differs from the rest of Canada, and these differences were taken into account by the Alberta Sport Leadership Association (ASLA), the organization that is responsible for fostering a safe, inclusive and well-governed sport system across Alberta.
Code of Conduct
The Alberta Universal Code of Conduct (AB UCC) sets clear expectations for respectful behaviour across all roles in the sport. Individuals are encouraged to review and sign it annually.
Reporting and Independent Resolution Policy
The button below will open a comprehensive document explaining what the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM) is, when it does or does not apply, and what happens after a complaint is filed.
When an individual or organization registered with the Alberta Sport Leadership Association (ASLA) violates the AB UCC, a complaint may be filed. Reported violations will be investigated and adressed in a fair, transparent, and effecient manner, with negotiation and facilitation emphasized as prefered routes for resolving disputes.
To report a code of conduct violation through the ABSSCM, look for the "Report a Complaint" option at the top / bottom of any page on our website, or on our homepage.
