Hockey Canada has a view to adopting "Directors, Sports Safety – Abuse, Harassment and Abuse" to strengthen its overall sports safety framework.

This post was made on Thursday. This is because the sport's national governing body continues to attempt to restore public trust and confidence following significant scrutiny regarding its handling of past sexual assault allegations.

This organization is seeking a person to lead the development, implementation, and evaluation of a "Comprehensive Multi-Year Abuse, Harassment, and Abuse Strategy."

Hockey Canada also states that this individual will oversee an "independent and confidential complaints mechanism." Additionally, the organization said in its job listing that it aims to "create a sports culture and environment free of all forms of abuse and harm." He was appointed interim chairman of Hockey Canada's board of directors after Michael Brindamore stepped down three days ago.

said it depended on getting a response, along with a request for an "extraordinary meeting" with troubled national groups.
