Positive sport experiences found in safe, healthy and fun environments |

“A safe sport environment is the foundation for a positive sport experience for all participants including athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, and parents."
Recently, Respect in Sport training has added additional programming to include information on discrimination such as systemic racism, unconscious bias and microaggressions to help stay relevant to today's society. Although Respect in Sport training is mandatory for all coaches in the province, many other individuals are taking advantage of this program.
