safe sport education webinar series
Sport NB and ITP Sport are pleased to announce the 2023 Safe Sport Education Webinar Series. These one-hour webinar presentations are designed to tackle some of the ongoing safe sport issues and challenges faced by Sport NB members. The purpose of these sessions will be to raise awareness as a preventative measure against potential safe sport infractions, as well as to promote and help create safe and inclusive sport and recreation environments for all New Brunswickers. These sessions are free of charge for Sport NB members and will be facilitated by ITP Sport’s COO, Allyson Forsyth.
There is no limit to the number of sessions a registrant may sign-up for, and Sport NB encourages all members to take advantage of this opportunity as much as able.
For topics offered at multiple times, the content covered in each of these presentations will be the same. This is to accommodate varying schedules and to reinforce the Safe Sport message focused upon during the session itself. Registration for both sessions is not considered mandatory.
If you have any further questions, concerns, or require more information, please contact Sport NB directly at info@sportNB.com.
All sessions will be available in both English and French languages through simultaneous translation services.
