Sport NB is pleased to offer a free 1-hour virtual Safe Sport Education Session for athletes and youth participants of sport! Join Allison Forsyth, Founder of Generation Safe, Olympian, and Safe Sport expert and educator for an informative education session designed for youth (12+) and their parents or caregivers.

This education session will take place virtually on March 10th from 7:00-8:00pm (AST). The presentation will be delivered in English however simultaneous translation will also be available.
