Safety in Sport: Advocating for the Eradication of Maltreatment and Misconduct in Canadian Athletics
An insightful event focused on addressing the current crisis of toxic culture and abuse within the Canadian sport system. Hosted by Athletes Empowered and Lambton College, this in-person gathering aims to shed light on the importance of safety in sport and to initiate discussions on creating a rich and meaningful environment for athletes.
The evening will commence with a condensed viewing of the documentary “Broken: Inside the Toxic Culture of Canadian Gymnastics” followed by a discussion from panelists who will share their experiences, knowledge and suggestions to address abuse in sport.
