Athletics Canada is committed to the health and safety of its members. As the COVID-19 response varies from location to location, there can be no standard approach that applies to all provinces and clubs. Athletics Canada has developed the Back on Track guidelines as a national tool to assist in developing a responsible return to programming in each and every province and territory.

• Back on Track

Developed by the Back on Track Task Force, the guidelines, as well as those from municipal, provincial and public health agencies, will help athletes and their families make informed decisions as to safe return to training.

Athletics Canada would like to acknowledge the work of the national Return to Sport Task Force. The risk assessment and mitigation tools developed by the Return to Sport Task Force inspired much of the Back on Track guidelines, Athletics Canada strongly encourages clubs and training groups to complete the Club Risk Assessment and Club Mitigation Checklist Tool prior to any return to training.
