Safe Sport

SOGO Adventure Running is committed to providing a safe sport environment. We carefully follow the Safe Sport policies of our parent club, Foothills Wanderers Orienteering Club, the Alberta Orienteering Association and Orienteering Canada. We have adopted the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport.
The Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM) is our independent third-party complaint management process. 
"Report a Complaint " button links directly to the Alberta Safe Sport Complaint Mechanism (ABSSCM), an independent service by ALIAS for confidential maltreatment reports.
The ABSSCM reporting mechanism does not provide emergency assistance. If there is an immediate threat to someone’s safety, call 911.
