The Inclusion in Canadian Sports Network (ICSN), now recognized as a Multisport Service Organization (MSO), is proud to announce the 4th Annual National Diversity in Sports Conference on May 1–3, 2026, at the Hilton Mississauga Meadowvale.
Building on the sold-out success of 2025 – where global leaders like the Australian Sports Commission and UK Sport led workshops with sport leaders from across Canada – participants can expect to learn from leading experts, engage in interactive workshops, and connect with peers in a lively and memorable networking experience, all focused on creating an inclusive and equitable Canadian sport system.
This conference is open to ALL individuals passionate about advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in Canadian sport, regardless of background or experience. We welcome:
- National and Provincial Sport Organizations (NSOs and PSOs)
- Coaches and officials
- Athletic administrators and staff
- Academics, researchers, and students
- Grassroots and community sport organizations
- Municipalities
The conference also features the Emerging BIPOC Leaders program, a dedicated stream for individuals aged 18–30 who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Colour, offering them the opportunity to connect with industry professionals and develop leadership skills.
We look forward to welcoming attendees from across the country for three days of learning, collaboration, and action.
