Wheelchair Sports Alberta – Safe Sport Commitment

Wheelchair Sports Alberta is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming sport environment. We recognize that a systemic culture shift is required to eliminate all forms of maltreatment, including sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, neglect, harassment, bullying, exploitation, and discrimination. 


Wheelchair Sports Alberta believes that the welfare and safety of everyone involved in sport is a primary consideration and a shared responsibility of each individual, member, club, and partner within our community. We maintain zero tolerance for any form of harassment or abuse. Athletes, officials, coaches, administrators, volunteers, and parents are encouraged to report any concerns or incidents in a manner in which they feel safe.
