OTTAWA — The Canadian Centre For Ethics in Sport will changes its name to Sport Integrity Canada in January to reflect its increased responsibilities, says its board chair.
The CCES that was the country’s domestic doping watchdog for over two decades, and more recently a monitor of sports betting manipulation, had safe sport added to its mandate this year by previous federal sports minister Carla Qualtrough.
As of April 1, the centre took over managing and investigating complaints and reports of abuse and maltreatment in sport, and the administration of the public registry of people banned from sport or provisionally sanctioned, from the now-defunct Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC).
“As part of this new mandate, we have chosen to revisit not only our strategic plan, but also our organizational approach and structure,” said the centre’s board chair Jocelyn Downie in a statement Tuesday.
