All of our staff are screened during the recruitment process including criminal background checks and vulnerable sector checks.

Our coaches and A&R staff are required to complete online training and education through the Coaching Association of Canada’s Safe Sport Training.

We encourage all participants, including parents, to improve and increase their Safe Sport knowledge by also completing the Coaching Association of Canada’s Safe Sport Training. These modules are complementary and an account to participate can be created here.

We understand that a key to prevention is the existence of a trusting, open, respectful and ethical athlete experience and culture. With the mission we have set out and the vision we hold, we will continue to create a training and competition environment that lives up to our values everyday.

The Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM) is a call to action for sport organizations, parents, and coaches to enact responsible coaching across Canada - on and off the field.

Established by the Coaching Association of Canada and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, the RCM invites all coaches and sport organizations to learn and apply consistent coaching principles. It includes three distinct pillars, each serving to create a sport environment that is Safe, Smart and Secure.

Our student-athlete requirements are found here. It is our aim that student-athletes read, understand, and acknowledge what they are responsible for and how they are protected by our institution. We encourage our student-athletes to come to us with any questions, feedback, or clarifications needed.
