Ontario Cycling is committed to the long-term health of our athletes and by working closely with the Ministry of Sport in Ontario in the application of Rowans Law we can ensure that current and relevant health information is available to our members.

ROWAN’s LAW

Rowan’s Law legislation was passed by the Ontario Government in 2018. This legislation is named in memory of Rowan Stringer who died in 2013 of Second Impact Syndrome – the result of suffering multiple concussions playing rugby three times in six days. The legislation is designed to create a safer environment for competitive amateur athletes, children, and youth to play sport.

Knowing how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion, and what to do if a concussion happens – whether you’re an athlete, a student, a parent, a coach, a team trainer, an official or an educator– saves lives.

Ontario Cycling is committed to being a leader in the support, and implementation of Rowan’s Law. Ontario Cycling, and by association all our Member Clubs, Organizers and registrants are legally bound by the requirements of the Law.

For more information on concussion prevention, identification, management and treatment, we invite you to visit the Ministry of Ontario Concussion Safety webpage.
