Mike Milner, the former high-performance director for Sail Canada, has received a four-month suspension under the national Abuse-Free Sport Program.
The details of Milner’s suspension were made public on January 8, as listed in a registry created by the Office of the Sports Integrity Commissioner.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Sail Canada noted, “Mr. Milner departed from Sail Canada in September 2024 and is not currently employed or contracted with the organization.”
According to the Abuse-Free Sport Registry, the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner has sanctioned Mike Milner for Aiding and Abetting, Neglect, and Psychological Maltreatment following an independent investigation.
The registry did not specify any particular incidents.
Last year, Sail Canada appointed a new high-performance director.
Milner served as the high-performance director for the organization for a period of six and a half years.
The responsibility for the registry is shifting from OSIC to Sport Integrity Canada, which was previously known as the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport.
On April 1, 2025, Sport Integrity Canada assumed the oversight of investigations concerning complaints and reports of abuse or maltreatment in sports, while OSIC continued to manage ongoing processes.
Sport Integrity Canada manages the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) as part of the Canadian Safe Sport Program.
The registry serves as a database for individuals who are subject to sanctions or provisional sanctions under the UCCMS.
