The CCES has a media relations policy that governs all media-related activities. As such, media relations activities are conducted in the spirit of mutual respect and as part of a partnership that the CCES has established with the news media. The media relations program at the CCES is anchored in the following principles:
- To respond promptly to media inquiries and coordinate media interviews in a fair and equitable manner;
- To conduct media relations activities in the spirit of transparency and accountability;
- To respect the rights of Canadian athletes in media relations activities; and
- To ensure that the policy on public disclosure of anti-doping rule violations is respected and implemented.
