As athletes call for a national sport inquiry, some leaders are running for the hills
have been 10 months of sustained focus on an egregious lack of commitment to athlete health, safety and well-being, and yet there remains the refusal to do the right thing and put the wheels in motion for an inquiry that would examine the Canadian sport system on all levels. The federal government has claimed it has no jurisdiction, and most recently claimed to be “open to all recommendations,” but has not yet committed to a national inquiry.
Survivors must be fully empowered to speak their truths should they so choose, and any attempts to silence them must be vigorously investigated and halted. Passive enablers in places of power can be as harmful as the perpetrators themselves. What were the emotional, physical and psychosocial consequences that followed an athlete’s career or achievements in other sports? A successful athletic career should not require years of therapy to undo the harm done to children and young people.
