Filing a Complaint
Water Polo Canada has adopted the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP), which is in effect as of April 1, 2025.
Through the CSSP Rules, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) independently administers the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) for federally funded, national-level sport organizations by receiving and responding to reports of prohibited behaviour, and by developing and carrying out education, prevention, and policy activities.
*Water Polo Canada’s UCCMS (CSSP) Participants include:
- Water Polo Canada Board of Directors
- Water Polo Canada board committee members (to the discretion of Water Polo Canada)
- Water Polo Canada staff
- Water Polo Canada contractors (to the discretion of Water Polo Canada)
- Senior National Team and Age Group National Team Athletes
- Senior National Team and Age Group National Team Athlete Support Personnel (includes coach, trainer, manager, agent, team staff, medical, paramedical personnel)
At this time, National Championship League participants have not been identified to complete this requirement.

As of April 1, the CCES will accept reports through an online report form and by phone - both methods allow you to remain anonymous if you wish. If you choose to share your name when you make a report, the CCES will not share it with your sport organization unless it is necessary to keep you or someone else safe, and will make every effort to get your consent beforehand.
