“Some are posting on social media. Some are protesting in the streets. Some are donating silently. Some are educating themselves. Some are having tough conversations with friends & family. A revolution has many lanes – be kind to yourself and to others who are traveling in the same direction just keep your foot on the gas”

Octavia Spencer

As Canadians reflect, seek education, gather knowledge and take action on anti-racism, these are some of the key questions to help guide the process:

  1. How can we, as Canadians, continue to ingrain diversity and inclusion into our communications, content and programs?
  2. How can Canadians focus on providing content, resources and programs that can reduce barriers for marginalized communities in sport?

To help create a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment in Canadian sport, below is a collection of key terms, educational resources and support organizations:

Athletes of all levels may find the following resources helpful:

To help you get the most out of your home-based exercise, we’ve rounded up 10 popular lists of online fitness classes, streaming services, apps and equipment.

Note: If you are not regularly active start slowly and with low intensity activities, like walking and low impact exercises. Start with shorter amounts, like 5-10 minutes, and gradually build up to 30 minutes or more continuously over a few weeks. It is better and safer to be active for short periods more frequently than to try and be active for long periods when you are not used to it. Check out these “tips for getting active during COVID-19” from the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine.

National, provincial/territorial and community sport organizations may find the following resources helpful:

National Sport Community Initiatives

Organizations in the national sport community are leading a wide variety of initiatives to support their members and key stakeholders, including provincial/territorial and community sport organizations, athletes, coaches and parents.

With schools across Canada closed to slow the spread of COVID-19, children and youth are spending a lot more time at home with their parents and caregivers. During this time, physical activity is especially important for health and wellbeing – but physical (social) distancing measures create challenges for families who get their physical activity through community clubs, programs, parks, or playgrounds.

To help parents and caregivers, SIRC has curated a list of resources that provide ideas, tips, and evidence-informed resources for keeping kids active at (or around) the house.
