On March 24, 2023, Water Polo Canada (WPC) officially joined Abuse-Free Sport, the new independent program to prevent and address maltreatment in sport.
Please have a look to the NEW COMPLAINT PROCESS
For concerns where the respondent (the person who engaged in maltreatment) is a Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) Participant, please contact Abuse-Free Sport. UCCMS participants include athletes, coaches, officials and WPC staff operating at the National level. Abuse-Free Sport reports can be filed through: https://sportintegritycommissioner.ca/report.
