Action

As of March 31st, 2023 Baseball Canada formally adopted the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS). For national and international level programming, Baseball Canada, and its national level stakeholders have access to the services of the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP) operated by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), which is responsible for the administration of the UCCMS for Baseball Canada.

The UCCMS sets out our expectations for conduct and behaviour to advance a respectful sport culture that delivers quality, inclusive, accessible, welcoming and safe sport experiences. The UCCMS generally applies to all participants involved in Baseball Canada activities at a national level including but not limited to all events and teams over which Baseball Canada has jurisdiction such as national championships and national teams. 

We expect that any individual involved in Baseball Canada activities conduct themselves with integrity and to the highest standards of conduct, in accordance with Baseball Canada values, as well as the UCCMS. Pursuant to the UCCMS, participants must report any actual or suspected cases of maltreatment to the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP) by following the process laid out on the CSSP website. The CSSP is responsible for administering the UCCMS using trauma-informed processes that are compassionate, efficient and provide fairness, respect and equity to all parties involved.
