Gender Diversity in Ringette Training Hosted by Ringette Canada
2021-07-07 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Ringette Canada would like to invite ringette parents and guardians to attend an educational training session regarding Gender Diversity in Ringette on July 7th from 7-9pm EDT. This session will be bilingual.

Ringette Canada recently updated its Transgender Inclusion Policy to allow trans athletes to play on a team that corresponds with either their gender identity or their sex assigned at birth. The changes also make options more explicit for non-binary players who can participate on a team of their choice (male, female or mixed). 

For many, transgender issues in sport are new territory. Concepts related to gender diversity may feel overwhelming or confusing. Ringette Canada is committed to providing education and resources to support the understanding and practical application of this updated policy. 

This interactive and engaging session will be lead by Kai Scott from TransFocus Inc with support from Ringette Canada.

Topics will include:

• Introduction to terms and concepts related to gender diversity;
• Insights into the unique and often invisible challenges and barriers faced by transgender and non-binary people;
• Information about the recent changes to Ringette Canada’s policy;
• Practical consideration related to privacy, how to respond to concerns, change rooms and registration forms;
• How to respectfully interact with transgender people (i.e. how misgendering happens, how to recover from mistakes, how to obtain pronouns, gender inclusive language, etc.)

Please note, webinars will be recorded and shared on the Ringette Canada website as a resource in the event you are unable to make it.

Pre-registration is required by 3:00pm EDT July 6th. Pre-registration can be found at the link below:
