Less than a week after its suspension from the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP), Cricket Canada has been reinstated following its compliance with the program’s participation requirements.

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced the reinstatement, effective October 17, 2025, after Cricket Canada ensured that all participants completed the mandatory e-learning module and consent form — a key obligation under the CSSP adoption contract.

“The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) wishes to advise that Cricket Canada’s contract to participate in the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP) has been reinstated, effective October 17,” said Megan Cummins, Manager, Corporate Communications. “This reinstatement is due to Cricket Canada now meeting the Canada requirement of participants completing the mandatory e-learning module and consent form, a critical obligation under the adoption contract.”

The decision marks a quick turnaround after Cricket Canada’s suspension on October 14, which stemmed from its failure to ensure participants completed the e-learning and consent requirements. The CCES acknowledged the “swift and concerted effort” by Cricket Canada to resolve the issue and restore compliance.

With the reinstatement, individuals identified as CSSP participants by Cricket Canada can once again access the CSSP reporting process and protections.

The CCES emphasized that organizations participating in the Safe Sport Program must uphold key responsibilities to support effective implementation and promote a safe and inclusive sporting environment. This includes ensuring all participants complete the 40-minute e-learning module and sign the consent form—essential steps for understanding their rights and responsibilities under the program.

The CCES reiterated that failure to meet these foundational requirements may prevent it from processing safe sport reports involving individuals from non-compliant organizations. These obligations, the agency noted, are vital to protecting all participants and reinforcing the collective responsibility of Canada’s sport community in maintaining high standards of safety and ethics.
