Outaouais minor hockey racism allegations prompt independent investigation ottnews ottawa

In a French statement released Thursday, Hockey Québec said the complaint process couldn't be completed and that certain requirements of its Integrity Protection Policy weren't met.But in light of the information complaints officer Vicky Poirier was able to collect, Poirier recommended that an independent investigation be done by Jules Bernier.

In the meantime, suspended players who want to return to their team must first complete an online training course on respect in sport, paid for by Hockey Québec.When his investigation is done, Bernier will submit a report to Hockey Quebec with recommendations to sanction any wrongdoing and prevent future abuse, Hockey Quebec's Thursday statement reads.

"The ultimate goal is to create a culture of respect where the wellbeing of the athlete is the priority," it continues.

Hockey Canada looks to hire director of sport safety to address abuse, harassmentHockey Canada has its sights set on hiring a 'director, sport safety - maltreatment, harassment and abuse' to strengthen its overall sport safety framework. How fucking sad is it that any organization has to spend $200,000k a year of government funded tax payer dollars to hire someone to be a do the right thing coordinator. What a farce! Given recent developments, they should hire 3 or 4 of these. NO. Hiring a female wont change the facts that the same men on Hockey Canada board covered up rapes, and still sit on it. They ALL need to resign, or get canned.
