The following procedure for protests within the MHSAA was approved at the

1. A letter must be sent (faxed or emailed) within 48 hours of the event in
question c/o Ami Nixon, Protest Committee Chair, Citadel High School:
Fax: 902-491-1700 anixon@hrce.ca The Principal of the school filing the
protest must sign the letter indicating approval.
2. With the letter include a detailed account of the events surrounding the
protest, as well as names of the individuals involved, witnesses, and contact
numbers.
3. The letter must be accompanied by a photocopy of a cheque from the school

Athletic Association (which will be returned if the protest is upheld).
4. Upon receiving the protest letter the Chair will then strike a committee
consisting of two other Metro Athletic Directors who will gather all
information and then either meet in person or via a conference call to discuss
and determine the outcome of the protest.
