Developing a safe, welcoming, and productive culture is a complex issue. While clear policies and procedures are important, expressing organizational values and establishing expectations for the behaviour of athletes, coaches, officials, and supporters, culture is much more than written standards – it is how things are done.

Hosted by Ontario Cycling with Guest Speakers Will Russell and Kristin Noonan of Sport Law, Session 1 will identify the essential policy components of an effective organization, with a specific focus on creating a safe and competitive culture.
