The Ottawa Sport Council is committed to providing a range of relevant and timely educational resources, including information about current best practices and targeted materials for community-level sport participation.
Key Educational Resources:
The Belonging Playbook is a resource hub centered around equity, diversity and inclusion designed to help all members of community sport organizations (administrators, coaches, officials and volunteers) to create a more welcoming, inclusive sport environment and cultivate more positive sport experiences.
The Ottawa Safe Sport toolkit was developed to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all community sport participants. Based on best practices and resources at the federal, provincial, and community levels, the Toolkit is a fundamental building block to create a healthy supportive environment in which everyone can thrive.
The concussion education video was designed to provide coaches, players, parents, board members, staff, and volunteers alike with the knowledge of how to apply the 4 R’s of concussion management (Recognize, Remove, Refer, Return) in a sport setting. Developed in partnership with Parachute Canada and SIRC (Sport Information Resource Centre), it is aligned with the Canadian Harmonized Concussion Protocol, which is recognized by Sport Canada.
