Fellow BCBUA members
The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring that all sport participants in Canada - from playground to podium - can participate and flourish in sport environments free from harassment, abuse, discrimination, and other forms of maltreatment. The Government of Canada has adopted a universal code of conduct to prevent and address maltreatment in sport. To be considered for funding a sport needs to have adopted the code of conduct and prepared policies for the protection of their members. Baseball Canada falls under this umbrella and it extends down through Baseball BC and to the BCBUA.
