‘Designed to conceal’: Hockey Canada used a second multi-million dollar fund for sexual assault claims
In the past few months, reporting from the likes of TSN’s Rick Westhead, and subsequent testimony before Canadian parliament from Hockey Canada major decision makers, have detailed the governing hockey body’s botched handling of an investigation stemming from allegations made by an unnamed woman that eight members of Canada’s 2018 World Junior team sexually assaulted her.
“Known as the Participants Legacy Trust Fund, the reserve was created by the organization and its members with more than $7.1-million from the National Equity Fund. The money was earmarked ‘for matters including but not limited to sexual abuse,’ according to Hockey Canada documents obtained by The Globe and Mail.”The trust was set up to deal with claims against Hockey Canada’s member branches covering incidents that took place between 1986 and 1995.
