Research
Over the years, the CCES has commissioned public opinion research in an effort to better understand how Canadians view the ethical issues facing sport and to determine if sport is living up to its potential. The results provide us with a snapshot of Canadian sport at all levels and shed light on the public’s thoughts on anti-doping and values-based sport. Survey results also have the power to help shape our work by exposing areas in which sport is underserved or is underperforming.
