More than two dozen sport and activist organizations are calling on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to launch a national inquiry into what they say is a toxic culture of abuse in sport in the country, in the latest plea for a widespread examination
"On behalf of thousands of Canadian athletes, we are calling on you to exercise your powers as leader of this country to protect every child, youth, and elite athlete...," said Thursday's letter, which was also posted on social media.
"To date, more than 1,000 athletes from over 14 sports have called for a national inquiry," said the letter signed by 27 organizations. St-Onge's recent announcement, they wrote, have not staved off calls for an inquiry, but rather fuelled them. St-Onge's reforms came after athletes from a range of sports gave evidence to parliamentary committees over the past year and shared stories of physical and mental abuse they suffered at the hands of coaches and other officials.
