# Safe Sport > Learn about Cycling Canada's commitment to Safe Sport, the framework, program, policies, and related resources. OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFE SPORT Cycling Canada is committed to providing our athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers with a safe and inclusive environment that fosters and preserves a positive, healthy and enjoyable experience for all individuals. We embrace our responsibility to cultivate an environment that is free from abuse, harassment and discrimination, and we encourage individuals to feel empowered and comfortable reporting any behaviour that breaches the Cycling Canada Code of Conduct or the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS).

Safe Sport Framework Cycling Canada is developing a Safe Sport Framework founded upon policy, education, and advocacy initiatives to further strengthen the administration and delivery of our programs, events and services. Policy A comprehensive set of principles that establish expected behaviour, guide decision-making, and promote accountability for all individuals associated with Cycling Canada.

Advocacy Initiatives that create awareness, inspire, and actively promote Cycling Canada’s Safe Sport principles in all local, national, and international activities. The Canadian Safe Sport Program Starting April 1, 2025, the Abuse-Free Sport Program will be replaced by the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP). As a program signatory, Cycling Canada and all its participants will fall under the jurisdiction of this new program and its regulations. The CSSP will administer the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) and the subsequent independent process for managing reports of UCCMS violations. The program will be delivered by the Sport Integrity Canada (SIC) starting on April 1, 2025, with the full program launch completed by Aug. 1, 2025. In 2018, Sport Canada began formalizing measures to foster sport and work environments free from harassment, abuse or discrimination of any kind across the national sport system. This led to the development of the UCCMS in 2019 and the Abuse-Free Sport Program in 2022. The Abuse-Free Sport Program, including the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC), was delivered by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada. The program and OSIC will close permanently on Aug. 1, 2025, after a comprehensive transition period. Questions?
