Coinciding with Pride Month, the LGBTQI2S+ Sport Inclusion Task Force (SITF) proudly launched its new website: sportinclusion.ca. Zync, in partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee, helped build the site to support National, Provincial/Territorial, and Local/Club Sport Organizations intent on making their organizations more equitable, diverse, and inclusive for those who identify as LGBTQI2S+.
“Having a centralized website to house these resources and best practices will go a long way in supporting sport organizations on their diversity, equity and inclusion journey.”
David Shoemaker, CEO and Secretary General, Canadian Olympic Committee
Sportinclusion.ca will serve as a go-to hub for sport organizations and the general public, looking for LGBTQI2S+ news, resources, speakers and consultants. It will also provide tools, policies and frameworks that prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion for LGBTQI2S+ people.
Founded during the TORONTO 2015 Pan American Games, the SITF is steered by the Canadian Olympic Committee, Professional Golfers Association of Canada, Canadian Women & Sport, the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary, and Challenge Accepted Collective. It is managed by a coalition of sport leaders who are committed to ending LGBTQI2S+ bias in sport through education for and promotion of LGBTQI2S+ inclusion in Canadian sport.
Zync is proud to continue to partner with the Canadian Olympic Committee on these ground breaking initiatives.
