Women’s Team Pursuit Discrimination Complaint Against Cycling Canada Set for Hearing
The tribunal rejected an urgent order but will hear the women’s discrimination complaint for up to three days in December.
- Ontario's Human Rights Tribunal granted a hearing this December to five women cyclists contending that Cycling Canada's exclusion of the women's pursuit team from world championships was discriminatory.
- Fiona Majendie, Skyler Goudswaard, Jenna Nestman, Lily Plante, and Justine Thomas filed the complaint after the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada denied their appeal regarding exclusion from the Shanghai world championships.
- Cycling Canada chief executive officer Mathieu Boucher attributed the exclusion to budget limitations and performance analysis showing the men's team was closer to a top-six world ranking; the organization denied sexual discrimination.
- Mediation efforts between the parties proved unsuccessful, and the Tribunal rejected Cycling Canada's attempt to separate the hearing into two phases, ensuring discrimination and abuse-of-process claims proceed together.
- While the women's pursuit program shifted to a development model, the men's team competes in 2028 Olympic Games qualifiers; Cycling Canada received up to $6.8 million in new federal funding this year.
