SAFE SPORT MISSION
Freestyle Alberta has a fundamental obligation and responsibility to protect the health, safety and physical and mental well-being of every individual that is involved in the Alberta Freestyle skiing community. Freestyle Alberta takes any situation involving misconduct, Maltreatment and Prohibited Behaviour very seriously; for this reason, Freestyle Alberta is committed to enacting and enforcing strong, clear, and effective policies and processes for preventing and addressing all forms of misconduct, Maltreatment and Prohibited Behaviour.
This page is intended to clearly outline the process, resources and procedure for any potential form of maltreatments. Freestyle Albert will continue to create a culture that embraces the uniqueness of each individual and wishes to ensure that all participants have access to programming and facilities in which they feel comfortable and safe.
PROCESS
If you have determined that your complaint should be filed with the ITP for Freestyle Canada, it should be submitted to the ITP for assessment using the Freestyle Canada Safe Sport Incident Report Form within 30 days of the Incident occurring.
The ITP, Gordon Hopper, is a highly trained and skilled professional equipped to deal with Safe Sport issues with sensitivity and in confidence. He is able to review, advise and refer issues for further action independently of Freestyle Canada. The ITP does not render decisions on the merit of the complaint, but rather applies FC policies to determine whether the complaint will be accepted and what organization will be responsible for its management. Temporary measures may be put in place during the review process to keep parties safe.
Complaints can be made via the Safe Sport Incident Form on Freestyle Alberta’s website and emailing it to Gord Hopper at ITP ITP.Freestylecanada@gmail.com or call 778-228-4367.
