More revelations are coming out tonight about how Hockey Canada has set aside money to deal with outstanding sexual assault claims.
According to documents obtained by the Globe and Mail, a trust fund set aside millions of dollars to cover incidents between 1986 and 1995 – before Hockey Canada carried insurance for sexual assault claims.
Hockey Canada is currently under a federal parliamentary review for its handling of past sexual assault claims. There are other situations where there is no statute of limitations – such as a player physically abused by a coach while they are a minor, says Erin Nelson, a professor with U of A’s faculty of law.
It says the trust has not been reported because it is not considered an asset of the organization. That’s because it’s earmarked for any of scores of member organizations across the country that may need to settle claims not covered by insurance.
