Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism - Participant Notice
Dear paddler, coach, parent, official and volunteer,
You are the heart of sport — its energy, its passion, and its future. As you push boundaries, break records, and inspire communities, remember that true greatness begins with safety, respect, and integrity.
Safe sport is not just a policy — it's a promise.
A promise that every participant, regardless of age, background, or level, deserves to train, compete, and thrive in an environment free from abuse, discrimination, and harm. We need your support to promote these important values by showing respect among the sport community and to report situations where the conduct of someone is not respectful of these values.
Your voice matters. Your actions matter.
By standing up for safe sport, you’re not only protecting yourself — you’re protecting your teammates, your sport, and the generations to come.
Be informed. Be involved. Be a leader.
Speak up. Support others. Demand accountability. Together, we can build a culture where safety is the standard, not the exception.
Let’s make sport a place where everyone feels empowered, respected, and safe — always.
Anyone who witnesses or experiences inappropriate behaviour in our organization's environment can report it in complete confidentiality.
Participants, employees, members, community and partners now have access to a reporting platform operated by our external partner, ALIAS.
Every report is received and handled by ALIAS, the independent provider. PSOs are engaged only as required by policy (e.g., jurisdiction or implementing an outcome. Our goal is to prevent and address misconduct, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all. AWA Safe Sport Page
