Safe Sport: Questions and Answers

April 19, 2023

Sail Canada believes everyone involved in any role in the sport of sailing has the right to participate in a safe and inclusive sailing environment free of abuse, harassment, or discrimination – collectively referred to as maltreatment. This right to fully enjoy the sport applies to everyone regardless of the level or type of sailing they participate in.

Since Sail Canada joined Abuse-Free Sport on March 1, there is a lot of questions from the sailing community.

Who should consent to these?
