Safe Sport is a policy Manual that outlines expected standards of behavior that are designed to create a safe sport environment by preventing, as much as possible, inappropriate behavior from occurring in the first place. It contains policies and procedures to provide for consistent, timely, appropriate and meaningful action should any issues arise.

CONCUSSION CODE CONDUCT - ONTARIO SAILING 

Ontario Sailing has prepared a document summarizing a Concussion Code of Conduct for all sailing athletes. By providing your name, and acknowledging this code - you will have digitally agreed to this code.   The code provides a summary of what individuals need to know about concussions, and what should be done while participating in a sailing event.

Additional links and information is available regarding concussion protocols and Rowan’s Law in the CYC Racing Rules of Sail (RRS) located on the Racing/Cruising page of this website.
