Former N.S. sailing team member alleges sport governing bodies ignored sex assault

September 24, 2025

A former member of Nova Scotia’s Olympic sailing training program is suing the national and provincial governing bodies for the sport, alleging they failed to act when she reported a sexual assault.

The complainant from British Columbia says she was assaulted when she was 21 by a teammate in July, 2024, while training and working as a sailing coach in Nova Scotia.

She says she reported the incident to supervisors at Sail Canada and Sail Nova Scotia, but claims the organizations ignored her and isolated her from teammates.
