The Ottawa Sport Council (OSC) is pleased to launch its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Survey. This survey seeks to learn how the OSC can support community sport organizations with tools and training to create inclusive and accessible sport environments.
The Ottawa Sport Council believes that everyone should have access to positive sporting experiences. In 2021, the Ottawa Sport Council began delivering programming to the community sport sector to address the need for more diverse, equitable, and inclusive opportunities. This included a 1-hour panel discussion video (watch here) followed by facilitated discussions (Huddles) amongst the community.
Based on the Huddle conversations. we recognized that work needs to continue to support the sector in its DEI efforts. To understand what is required, we have partnered with INclusion INcorporated to deliver this survey. We are interested in how we can help to build capacity and supports for community sport organizations in their diversity and inclusion work. Our goal is to equip the sector with tools which will create affirmative environments for all participants and foster a strong sense of belonging.
The survey includes questions about your experiences and those of your sport organization, the current diversity and inclusion practices in your organization, support you and/or your organization has in the DEI space, and what further support is required.
We invite you to answer as honestly and openly as possible, so that the Ottawa Sport Council can understand the best ways to provide support.

We would be appreciative of your response by June 30, 2022.
