Fighting for change

Policy paper for anti-racism in hockey developed by two Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 researchers is gaining momentum.

A recent paper authored by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 researchers Courtney Szto and Sam McKegney is back in the news again after the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball recently postponed games in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. 

The  calls on hockey organizations and governments to enact policy changes to invigorate the need for re-education of coaches, parents, players, and officials on the importance of anti-racism, and to promote strategies for making hockey culture safer, more inclusive, and more accountable for its practices. 

During a segment on Sportsnet after the NHL postponed several playoff games, host  while in conversation with fellow broadcaster Harnarayan Singh. It was also featured on  where Dr. Szto was joined by Olympic sprint champion Donovan Bailey to discuss racism and moving forward as a society. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Am I happy with the coverage it has received 카지노 게임 컬렉션 yes. Am I happy with the change it has fostered 카지노 게임 컬렉션 not yet,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Szto (Kinesiology and Health Studies). 카지노 게임 컬렉션We had meetings with Hockey Canada and Bauer in July and have had ongoing meetings with the Minister of Heritage's Office. The paper has been downloaded over 4,500 times to date and has been widely read but it seems like people still have questions about what they should be doing instead of tweaking the recommendations so they fit their organization. If people can make one change this season and add another next season then we encourage them to do so, but we need to see action in some form.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

The calls to action include: 

  • All levels of government and hockey administrative bodies to publicly adopt and enforce Calls to Action 87 to 91 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada 
  • Implementing modules addressing intercultural competency, conflict resolution, and anti-racism in sport to be included in certification for coaches, administrators, billets, and officials 
  • Hockey Canada instituting a 카지노 게임 컬렉션duty to report카지노 게임 컬렉션 with relation to all incidents of suspected racism and track those incidents over time to establish objectives with regards to the elimination of such incidents
  • The Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities creating an external oversight body which sole purpose is to receive and investigate claims of racial, sexual, homonegative, and gendered abuse/discrimination, and to advocate for claimants
  • Calling upon Hockey Canada to implement a system to collect numbers on the participation of racialized groups in hockey in order to monitor demographic changes and trends
  • Asking Hockey Canada to allocate a percentage of the budget to support Indigenous hockey in Canada 

카지노 게임 컬렉션Racist incidents occur time and time again, and the hockey community is righteously appalled카지노 게임 컬렉션but then attention fades and it카지노 게임 컬렉션s back to business as usual, with no substantive structural or systemic change,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. McKegney (English Language and Literature). 카지노 게임 컬렉션We카지노 게임 컬렉션re advocating for practical, actionable changes we believe will not only make hockey more inclusive but will help unlock the game카지노 게임 컬렉션s potential as an instrument of positive social change.카지노 게임 컬렉션 

The paper was developed during a Roundtable on Racism in Hockey hosted at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Drs. Szto and McKegney worked in collaboration with Michael Auksi (PhD student, McGill 카지노게임사이트) and Bob Dawson (Senior Sportswriter, Boxscore World Sportswire).
