Awareness, Discussion, Support
An insightful event focused on addressing the current crisis of toxic culture and abuse within the Canadian sport system. 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.
The support piece encompasses both empowering community members to support our relentless pursuit for change so we can build a safe and nurturing environment for athletes across Canada, as well as, informing the community that Athletes Empowered offers support to victim-survivors in the form of peer support and/or guidance with navigating a complaint process.
Panelists and bios to be announced soon!
