Majority of the changes for the COE are to align with the

International Skate Union (ISU) Code of Ethics changes which are reflected in the Guiding Principles and Commitments;

changes to align to the Misconduct Reporting and Resolution Policy and Misconduct Reporting and Resolution Procedure including the addition of two new sections (i) Sanctions and Penalties from other Authorities and (ii) the Criminal Code; and minor word changes to the Obligations to Report section

naming convention changes for the ISU Anti-Doping Rules and Procedures to Anti-Doping Program and Anti-Doping Regulations;

name change from the Canadian Centre for Ethics (CCES) in Sport to Sport Integrity Canada
