(“SSP”) is committed to ensuring the integrity and highest ethical standards in respect of our members, performers, employees, volunteers and service providers directly contracted by SSP (individually a “Participant”, or collectively, “Participants”). Underlying this commitment is the need for SSP to ensure that all persons contributing to the success of SSP act with dignity, honesty, integrity and with respect towards others. This Code of Conduct is designed to clarify the expectations of SSP as to how Participants will conduct themselves when involved in the activities of SSP. The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to foster a safe, enjoyable and equitable environment for all those involved with SSP. How Does the Code of Conduct Apply?Every Participant of SSP is expected to perform his/her role in accordance with this Code of Conduct. SSP will provide Participants with a copy of this Code of Conduct and brief volunteers, when advisable. This Code of Conduct may be amended from time to time, when considered necessary or desirable by the Board of Directors for SSP. Updated copies of the Code of Conduct will be posted on the SSP website. Participants will be expected to abide by the Code of Conduct, as amended. This Code of Conduct is not designed to be exhaustive, but Participants in SSP activities will be expected to uphold both the letter and spirit of the Code of Conduct. Inquiries respecting this Code of Conduct should be directed to the General Manager or the BoardPresident. Incorporation of Other Standards:SSP requires that all Participants comply with all laws, regulations and policies governing or related to SSP activities and the Participant’s duties. SSP requires that all Participants who may be working directly and in a relationship of authority or trust with children will have obtained a Criminal Records Check and a Vulnerable Sector Check and have submitted the results to the General Manager. The General Manager shall determine whether and which types of record checks are necessary for the Participant’s involvement with SSP. These types of record checks must be obtained from the relevant police service where the Participant lives. The Participant is responsible for the costs associated with these record checks, but it should be noted, that most police services will waive or reduce the associated costs if it is for the purposes of a non-profit organization. SSP is happy to provide any necessary confirmations for this purpose. In the event the results of the Participant’s record checks are unsatisfactory (as determined by SSP in its sole discretion) or in the event that the Participant fails to obtain and provide the required record checks to the General Manager, the Participant’s involvement with SSP may be terminated. In addition to complying with the above, Participants are expected to observe the following general principles:(i) treat everyone with dignity and courtesy;(ii) be fair, considerate and honest in all dealings with others;(iii) refrain from any behaviour which may bring SSP into disrepute;(iv) observe proper meeting conduct and protocols;(v) be courteous, respectful and professional in dealings with other people involved with SSP;(vi) refrain from any verbal abuse of others; and(vii) not behave in any manner, or engage in any activity, while conducting his or her SSP activities or duties which is likely to impair positive public perception of SSP and its members.

SSP will not tolerate discrimination. No Participant shall, during his or her participation in SSP activities or conduct of SSP duties, discriminate against any other person on the basis of a Prohibited Ground.
