Abuse free hotline for sports

- Phone or text: Call or text 1-888-83SPORT (77678)
- Email: Email info@abuse-free-sport.ca

The helpline is available 7 days a week from 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern Time. Operators can provide advice, guidance, and resources, and can help with connecting to professional support services. If an incident seems admissible, operators can help with filing a report online.
