Study exarnines athletes'
rights
A sport study, entitled
"Athletes' .Rights in
Canada", will spark a new
consideration of the , issue
among athletes, coaches,
sport organizations and
government, according to
Ontario's Tourism and
Recreation Minister,
Reuben Baetz.
"Athletes' Rights in
Canada" was researched
and written independently
by Bruce Kidd, a University
of Toronto professor and
Mary Eberts, a lawyer with
the Toronto firm Tory, Tory,
DesLauriers & Binnington.
In the study, Kidd and
Eberts called on officials
responsible for sport to en-
sure athletes civil. liberties
as citizens and landed im-
migrants be safeguarded ac-
cording to the laws and
traditions of Canada. They
said athletes are entitled to
procedures of natural justice
and fairness in all matters,
including team selection and
disciplinary procedures.
Our sports organizations
have grown swiftly during
the last 10 years to meet the
demands resulting from in-
creased participation of both
elite -level and recreational
athletes," said Mr. Baetz.
"The authors are to be con-
gratulated for examining the
issue of athletes' rights in a
thorough manner.
"The result is a document
which offers new and pro-
vocative insights. My
Ministry will be distributing_
this report to the provincial
sports governing bodies for
their reaction."
At a media conference on
Thursday, May 19 in Toron-
to, Joe Halstead, director of
the Ministry's sports and
fitness branch, added that
while many of the concepts
introduced by Ms. Eberts
and Mr. Kidd are novel,
others are already under
consideration, In fact, said
Mr. Halstead, the Ministry
recently placed the respon-
sibility of awarding elite
athlete assistance grants m
the hands of the' provincial
sports governing bodies, as
the authors recommended in
the study.
The study, published in
soft-cover book form, costs
- $3 and is available at the On-
tario Govrnment Bookstore,
