Safe Sport Mandatory Training

It is likely that some of you have heard of Safe Sport. It is an initiative to make sure that all participants in sport programming have the safest possible experience when dealing with coaches, volunteers and other participants.

At VASS, this year and moving forward, all volunteers and board members must take this 90 minute training to support this initiative. It is all run through NCCP, the National Canadian Certification Program and it is FREE. In our registration this year, we will be requesting that you enter your NCCP # and declare that you have completed the course.

It is all free, which is amazing, and the NCCP has lots of other courses if you are interested in upgrading some skills.

To sign up, click here and it will take you to their page. In the top, right corner you will find 'THE LOCKER'. This is where you can sign up or enter your credentials. After you are logged in, look for 'e-learning' as a menu at the top and find the 'SAFE SPORT TRAINING'. It takes about 90 minutes to go through the material. Afterwards, if you have any questions, I would be happy to talk, just give me call.

Interesting Disney Plus Movie

I just came across this movie recently on Disney Plus. People with disabilities are often overlooked as they face challenges into their adult lives. This movie is a beautiful love story with real world realities for the characters.

**Please note that this a movie with an adult storyline and is rated 'R'**
