Our recommendations cover five key areas where our government can play an important and crucial role. These are listed on the slide here.
These recommendations are based on current research, including some of our own, as well as feedback from and discussions with a wide variety of stakeholders from across the country and beyond, and also some of our own policy work with Bill C-566, which was introduced in the 41st legislature.
The first area we're going to talk about today is prevention. Prevention is key to reducing things such as the financial burden that you would see with an injury such as this, as well as the adverse effects on the quality of life.
Our first recommendation here is to ask the government to encourage policy that's going to ensure that sport organizations and schools are contributing to a culture shift towards reducing the risk of concussion.
