How to report to the Independent Third Party (ITP)
​
An Independent Third Party (ITP) is an individual or group, external to Alpine Canada who is responsible for providing expert, objective, external facilitation of complaints in accordance with Alpine Canada’s Discipline & Complaints Policy.
​
Alpine Canada has retained Sport Dispute Management (SDM) to provide independent third-party services to Alpine Canada. Any individual who has witnessed, experienced, or received information regarding maltreatment of any kind can contact SDM for information about the complaint process or to submit a complaint.
​
​
You may ask questions of the Independent Third Party by contacting Sport Dispute Management at complaints@sportdispute.com.
​
For more information regarding Sport Dispute Management and the complaint process, please see their website.
​

​
-
All reports will be kept entirely confidential, in line with the wishes of the person making the complaint.
-
The complaint will be taken seriously and rigorously examined.
-
The complaint will be followed up on in a timely manner.

The Independent Third Party is available to support persons making a complaint through the process and will provide advice and guidance on steps if a complaint proceeds.
