Abuse and maltreatment report says Canadian sport has lost its way

A new national report on how abuse and maltreatment are handled in sport says “Canadian sport has lost its way” and the federal government needs to act to better protect athletes across the country.

The Future of Sport in Canada Commission released its preliminary report Thursday, saying it heard that there are “deeply ingrained” issues across the country, from a culture of silence that has led to abuse and maltreatment to underfunding and a lack of diversity.
