Wrestling Canada Lutte (WCL) believes that everyone has the right to enjoy the sport at whatever level they participate. Athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers have the right to participate in a safe and inclusive training and competitive environment that is free of abuse, harassment, or maltreatment. We are committed to making our culture better and are putting in place inclusive processes to help support our commitment to safe sport.

On December 29, 2022, WCL formally adopted the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) and joined the Abuse-Free Sport program, including the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC). 

As of April 1, 2025, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) will independently administer the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) through the application of the new Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP) Rules for federally funded, national-level sport organizations. Details on the transition measures from the Abuse-Free Sport Program to the Canadian Safe Sport Program can be found at the following link: https://cces.ca/safe-sport-program.
