Athletics PEI Launches National Safe Sport Program

10/14/2026

0 Comments

Athletics PEI has collaborated with Athletics Canada and the other provincial and territorial member branches to launch new National Safe Sport Program and National Safe Sport Polices, establishing a nationally consistent framework to strengthen Safe Sport across the Canadian athletics community.
The National Safe Sport Program represents an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to creating safe, welcoming and inclusive environments where every participant can thrive. Approved by the Athletics Canada Board of Directors in partnership with every Canadian provincial and territorial member branch, the program focuses on prevention, education, accountability and participant wellbeing across all levels of the sport.

The new National Safe Sport Policies are at the centre of the program and reflect current best practices in sport safety. The policies also align with the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS), where applicable. The framework establishes clear expectations and consistent standards for athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, staff and other members of the athletics community, from first-time participants through to Canada’s highest-performing athletes.

Athletics PEI has adopted and aligned with the National Safe Sport Policies as part of the coordinated national approach.

The development of the National Safe Sport Program included extensive collaboration between Athletics Canada and its Provincial and Territorial Branches. This work was designed to establish a shared framework that strengthens participant protection while recognizing the needs of organizations delivering athletics across the country.

The national framework will provide greater consistency across the Canadian athletics system while supporting increased education and awareness. It also helps ensure participants understand their rights and responsibilities in fostering respectful sport environments.

The National Safe Sport Program is an ongoing initiative. Athletics Canada and all provincial and territorial branches will continue to evaluate its policies, expand educational resources and strengthen practices as the sport evolves and new best practices emerge.

The National Safe Sport Program and National Safe Sport Policies are effective as of October 14/2026.

Members of the Athletics PEI athletics community are encouraged to lean more about the program and policies below:

Athletics PEI Receives 2009 Canada Games Legacy Funding

6/15/2026

Athletics PEI has received 2009 Canada Games Legacy Funding to purchase new photo-timing equipment. This funding enables us to host more local track and field competitions during the outdoor season. Without this crucial funding, this purchase would not have been possible, and we would like to extend our gratitude to the 2009 Canada Games Legacy Fund. In just a few short weeks, the Athletics PEI Provincials & Legion Trials will take place at UPEI Canada Games Alumni Place & MacAdam Field, where the equipment will be used to showcase the best track and field athletes on Prince Edward Island. This new equipment also allows us to provide local opportunities for officials that were previously unavailable. Their development will allow us to increase the credibility of our competitions and attract new officials. We want to thank the 2009 Canada Games Legacy Fund once again for this funding towards officiating development in our province.

We just landed back in PEI after another unforgettable Canada Games, and we are filled with gratitude for this experience.
Here’s what PEI Track & Field accomplished in Newfoundland:
12 Provincial Records: 8 overall, and 4 additional Provincial Age-Group Records.
26 top 16 Finishes, and 9 Top 10 finishes (both our most ever).
23 new personal bests.
721 points on the men’s side (most we ever had), and 541 on the women’s side (second most we ever had).
1,262 total points — a new PEI Athletics Canada Games record!
None of this would have been possible without the incredible support behind the scenes. Thank you to our dedicated coaches, tireless volunteers, amazing mission staff, and everyone else who helped along the way. We’re also grateful to the province of Newfoundland for being such generous and welcoming hosts.
This was truly a Games to remember, and we can’t wait to keep building on this momentum!
