Safe Sport
Our Commitment
Alberta Sport Leadership Association (ASLA) is committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and well-governed sport system across Alberta.
We coordinate policy development, education, and shared sector tools to support athletes, families, coaches, officials, and sport organizations. Central to this work is the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM), which provides independent intake, case management, and resolution for Safe Sport concerns.
ASLA is dedicated to protecting privacy, supporting good-faith reporting, and ensuring processes are fair, transparent, and trauma-informed. Our resources are designed to be clear, accessible, and easy to use for Provincial and Multi-Sport Organizations (PSOs/MSOs) and all sport participants.
