Hockey Canada Dressing Room Policy Implementation Guide

Hockey Canada's Guiding Standards for Safe, Equitable Dressing Rooms

Dressing Room Policy Implementation Guide Released

Hockey Canada has introduced a comprehensive Dressing Room Policy and accompanying Implementation Guide to promote safety, equity, and inclusivity in dressing rooms across the country.

The Dressing Room Policy outlines the standards and guidelines that all Hockey Canada members, including teams, leagues, and associations, must adhere to when managing dressing rooms.

The Implementation Guide provides practical examples of equitable practices, such as:

• Ensuring privacy and dignity for all participants
• Establishing clear rules and expectations for conduct
• Promoting a welcoming and respectful environment

The Hockey Canada Dressing Room Policy is a groundbreaking step towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants in the sport.

Addressing Concerns Raised by Ontario Human Rights Tribunal

The new policy addresses concerns raised by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal in its recent ruling on Hockey Canada's previous dressing room guidelines.

The Implementation Guide outlines specific measures to ensure that all participants are treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

The Tribunal's decision has served as a catalyst for Hockey Canada to re-evaluate its policies and practices and to make significant improvements to its dressing room environment.

Hockey Canada's Commitment to Inclusivity and Safety

Hockey Canada is committed to fostering a safe and equitable environment for all participants in the sport.

The new Dressing Room Policy and Implementation Guide are important steps in ensuring that all participants feel respected, valued, and supported.

By working together, Hockey Canada and its members can create a positive and inclusive dressing room environment that promotes the enjoyment and safety of the sport for all.
