The #MeToo movement and recent media attention on abuse in sport has highlighted the need for all sporting organizations to pay attention to creating a safe space for their players. There have been many instances over the past few years of coaches acting inappropriately with athletes, causing them feel uncomfortable playing their sport and reflecting badly on the sporting organization. These incidents have happened at the national, provincial and local level of sport. At the local level, often community sport organizations have not received information on how to deal with safe sport issues which can cause serious harm to their athletes and other staff members.

According to the United Nations, sport is recognized by many governments around the world as a major contributor to economic and social development. The UN’s Declaration of the 2030 Agenda even reflects on “the contribution sports make to the empowerment of women, and of young people, individuals and communities, as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives.”

At the Ottawa Sport Council, we believe that sport at all levels is an integral building block of healthy communities and should be available to everyone.
