Sport PEI welcomes The CCES and Sport Law for the Hope on the Horizon Tour
Sport PEI is pleased to be welcoming Sport Law and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) for legal and leadership workshops to increase the capacity of sport leaders to manage the complexities of leading an ethically driven and legally sound sport organization.
The Hope on the Horizon Tour was conceived as part of Sport Law and the CCES’s commitment to meaningfully support the community that we have been a part of for over 30 years. In response to increased expectations on ethically managing and governing provincial, territorial and community sport organizations, these workshops will focus on supporting the leaders that are an instrumental part of the Canadian sport landscape.
“We believe that hope is the one thing that can change everything, which is why we have committed to launching the Hope Tour. We are so excited to be begin this national initiative in Charlottetown with Sport PEI this month for a coordinated effort that connects, educates, and inspires leaders to modernize their business practices,” shared Steve Indig, Sport Law partner.
“The CCES believes in working collaboratively to address unethical behaviours and promoting a values-based approach that will ensure positive sport experiences for all. As part of our commitment to fostering safe and welcoming environments through True Sport, we are excited to support provincial and territorial sport leaders who are integral to making sport better, and look forward to kicking things off in PEI.” said Karri Dawson, Executive Director, Values-Based Sport, CCES.
Sport PEI will be host to the Hope on the Horizon Tour on April 20-21, 2023. The legal and leadership workshops will be hosted in Charlottetown for provincial and community sport organizations in PEI who are seeking meaningful support to ethically managing and governing their organizations.

“Sport PEI believes in the power of sport and what it can do for our province. In the past several years, managing provincial and community sport organizations has become more challenging for our sport leaders. We want to provide support to the sport community to enable them to deliver positive sport experiences for athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers which is exactly why we wanted to be part of the Hope Tour.” said Gemma Koughan, Executive Director, Sport PEI.
