Simply put, sport is for everyone to enjoy. Creating spaces in sport where everyone can feel a sense of belonging will benefit the entire community. The Community Foundation of Canada's Vital Signs report states belonging is about how much we believe we fit into a group or place – and how much that place or group welcomes us.
We were honoured to be asked to be part of the Proud to Play panel hosted by the Lethbridge Public Library to discuss positive space in sport and answer questions from elementary school students.
