Tyr LLP is honoured to be representing a group of elite artistic swimmers in a proposed class action against Canada Artistic Swimming, filed today in the Quebec Superior Court. The action alleges that members of Canada's national artistic swimming team were subjected to various forms of psychological abuse, neglect, and harassment, including sexual and racial harassment, by coaches and staff employed by Canada Artistic Swimming, the national governing body for the sport in Canada.
These strong and courageous women advance this case in an effort to stamp out the psychological abuse and harassment that persists in elite sport in Canada. Doing so is critical, not only to protect the health and well-being of our athletes, but also to enable them to reach ever higher levels of athletic achievement.
This proposed class action is being advanced jointly on behalf of the plaintiffs by Tyr and Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP on a pro bono basis.
