Tickets for the second annual Diversity in Sports Conference, happening in May, are now on sale. The Black Beyond Sport kickoff event during NHL All-Star Weekend celebrated promising BIPOC student-athletes, and the MLSE Foundation’s Change the Game Campaign engaged over 25,000 Ontario youth in sport research. Waterloo Minor Soccer Club’s BIPOC Equity Scholarship and the historic “Battle on Bay Street” women’s hockey game are also featured. Upcoming programs include the CFL’s Diversity in Football Program and the Newcomer Coach Mentorship Program.
