The tribunal kept the discrimination claim alive and ordered more case management after rejecting an urgent request to force a women’s team entry.
- On Friday, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal declined to force Cycling Canada to enter a women's pursuit team in October's world championships, but permitted the discrimination case to proceed toward a future hearing.
- Five cyclists—Fiona Majendie, Skyler Goudswaard, Jenna Nestman, Lily Plante, and Justine Thomas—alleged sex discrimination after their appeal was denied by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada in August.
- Cycling Canada intends to field a men's team in Shanghai for the 2028 Olympic Games qualifier, citing budget constraints and performance analysis showing the men were closer to closing the gap on top-six world rankings.
- With the entry deadline approaching on Monday, lawyer Emir Crowne credited the Tribunal for moving quickly enough to keep the '2027 Olympic pathway open' despite denying the expedited order.
- Following unsuccessful mediation on September 10, the Tribunal agreed to expedite a case management call to determine whether a full hearing should be held on the discrimination claims.
