Concussion safety in Canadian sport has advanced significantly in recent years. The harmonization of evidence-based protocols through every level of sport has been at the heart of Canada’s leadership and success.
But injury prevention starts with data. So, at this symposium you’ll hear from sport leaders who have found the evidence and have changed their programs to help prevent concussions. National, provincial, territorial, and community sports will speak on how the latest concussion data has impacted their organizations.
What’s in store:
- Learn about leading-edge technology that national sports have been using
- Discover innovative methods for educating youth on concussions
- Explore new tools being used to better serve under-represented groups such as para-athletes and remote communities in Canada
- Hear about key gender-related facts in concussion
This upcoming Symposium will dive deeper into concussion data, innovative programs and critical new areas of research. If you’re a national, provincial, territorial or community sport organization you won’t want to miss out!
