With Respect in Sport we’ve learned that all sports are the same when it comes to dealing with abuse, bullying, and harassment.

With one, convenient and consistent program for all coaches in Manitoba, we empowered our coaches to be even better role models, and given them the necessary tools to deal with these tough issues.

Creating a safe, positive and fun environment for grassroots hockey is a primary goal for Hockey Canada.

The simple, consistent and relevant message Respect in Sport programs deliver to parents and volunteers across the country assists Hockey Canada to achieve this goal.

The Respect in Sport learning portal has provided the Alberta Gymnastics Federation with a highly engaging, consistent and easy to access teaching tool, that is appropriate for our entire membership. Parents, athletes, coaches, judges and club administrators have all benefited tremendously from the no nonsense, no shame approach to educating our community about a difficult subject matter. Year over year, we are able to provide new members with the same information, which continues to create and foster a safe sporting environment for all participants.
