Play Safe Community Summit – Athletes

Play Safe Community Summit – Athletes

We are excited to have partnered with viaSport BC to host the Play Safe Community Summits on November 1, 2 and 3. These free events are an opportunity to come together with the objective of making sport safer for everyone.

Attendees will hear and be heard; sharing their understanding, experiences, challenges, ideas and needs around safe sport. This will be a safe space for athletes, coaches, technical leaders, and people who work in sport organizations to learn and share how they get their information about safe sport. We will also identify tools and resources to adapt to the changing landscape. Mental health services will be available on site throughout each session.

Hosted by members of the Regional Sport Alliance, events will take place all across the province on three evenings from 5:50 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.:

• Nov 1: For youth athletes (ages 12 to 23)
• Nov 2: For coaches and technical leaders
• Nov 3: For people working in local sports organizations

We’ll explore the following topics in facilitated groups:

• What does “safe sport” mean to you?
• What challenges do you face in creating or experiencing a safe sport experience?
• Where do you get information about safe sport, and what information do you need? How can we get information and resources out to all of British Columbia?
• How can we all raise awareness of safe sport?

Registration is now open!
