To Our Athletes, Coaches, Officials, and Volunteers
Dear Members of the Curling Alberta Community,
Curling Alberta is committed to making our sport a safe, respectful, and welcoming place for everyone. We are writing to let you know that, effective May 25, 2026, Curling Alberta is joining the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (the ABSSCM), Alberta’s province-wide independent system for reporting and resolving maltreatment in sport.
Safe sport means that everyone in our sport — athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers — should be able to take part without being mistreated. The ABSSCM is Alberta’s independent system for reporting serious safe sport concerns like abuse, harassment, and other forms of mistreatment in sport. Reports go to trained professionals at an independent organization, not to Curling Alberta or your club
What this means for you
If you have a concern about maltreatment in our sport – whether you have experienced it, witnessed it, or someone has told you about it – you now have access to an independent, professional place to bring that concern. Reports go directly to ALIAS Solutions Inc., the independent third party that runs the ABSSCM. They do not go to Curling Alberta or your curling club first. ALIAS has trained case managers, investigators, and adjudicators who handle reports professionally and confidentially.
This new system applies to conduct in person and online, in Alberta and elsewhere, that takes place in connection with Curling Alberta, your club, or the sport of curling generally. The substantive rules are set out in the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct, which covers psychological, physical, and sexual maltreatment, neglect, grooming, discrimination, and retaliation, among other things.
How to make a report
Online: https://app.alias-solution.com/contact/en/AB240
Phone: 1-855-603-0483
In an emergency, call 911 first. The ABSSCM does not handle emergencies. If there is an immediate threat to anyone’s safety, contact 911 or local police before or in addition to making an ABSSCM report.
Where to learn more
We have prepared the following resources:
- Notice to Participants – a more detailed explanation of the ABSSCM, what it covers, and how it works.
- Frequently Asked Questions – plain-language answers to common questions, including what to do if you are not sure whether a concern rises to the level of maltreatment.
- Alberta Universal Code of Conduct – the full rules that the ABSSCM applies.
If you have any general questions about this rollout, please contact Curling Alberta at [email protected]
Thank you for everything you do for the sport of curling in Alberta.
