At AthletesCAN, our job is to amplify. For those who may not be aware, AthletesCAN is an independent non-profit. We are run by athletes, for athletes. We represent the 64 national teams. We just see our job as being a unified place to amplify that.
We have had a hand in doing pulse checks with our athletes for a long time. In 2019, we ran a safe sport summit.
My apologies for referencing my notes; I do have a bit of a Swiss cheese brain.
We passed the seven key consensus findings on to Sport Canada. That resulted in a provincial and federal summit. Eventually it went down the line to the UCCMS and OSIC. We did a pulse check last year as well.
We're really excited. I see our job as directing people to the many resources that there are and making sure there are no gaps. We're working on an athlete hub as well, to have a one-stop shop because athletes should be focused on their important work, which is being heads-down and being the best athlete that they possibly can be. It shouldn't be their job to be on top of all of the minutia of governmental and policy change.
