Hosts Nova Scotia and New Brunswick also want Hockey Canada to sign an anti-harassment policy following sexual assault accusations
HALIFAX — The two host provinces for next month's world junior hockey championship are requiring the sport's governing body to oversee anti-harassment and sexual assault prevention training for all staff and players ahead of the tournament.
“We’ve signed something from our side and sent something to them and we’re just waiting for their response,” Houston said Thursday. “We’ve asked them to take specific steps and we expect them to take them. We’re expecting that everyone is on the same page on this.” “The International Ice Hockey Federation management will also undergo training and we would encourage athletes, coaches and staff from other countries to do the same.”
Tammy Scott-Wallace, New Brunswick’s minister of tourism, heritage and culture, said in an email that like Nova Scotia, her province will require every person representing Hockey Canada to sign an anti-harassment policy and to take sexual assault prevention training.
