QMJHL adopts anti-discrimination policy
BOUCHERVILLE, Wednesday, December 13, 2006 - During the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Board of Governors meeting, which was held in Quebec City last Thursday, the Governors ratified an anti-discrimination policy. The policy is aimed at providing a sound working environment in which every individual is treated with respect and dignity. As such, the policy is applicable to all QMJHL and team staff, including officials, agents, officers, directors, managers, coaches, trainers and players, and to all members of the public who participate in any given QMJHL game, event or activity as a spectator or otherwise.
"The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is committed to enforcing this zero tolerance policy to ensure a working environment without discrimination," declared the Commissioner, Gilles Courteau. "Each and every individual has fundamental rights that must be respected, and we aim to ensure that they are."
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League entirely subscribes to these fundamental values under which every person has a right to a full and equal recognition and exercise of his human rights and freedoms without distinction, exclusion or preference based on race, gender, color, religion, language, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, handicap or social condition.
Disciplinary sanctions are underlined in the policy to ensure it is followed.
