TRANS-AFFIRMING SPORT
Throughout this page we offer a number of research-supported tools to counter the misinformation that has been used to justify recent attacks on 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming programs in Alberta, and beyond. The tools and information provided focus primarily on the sporting aspect of these attacks, because this is where our expertise and experience lies.

Federal Report
In December 2023, the federal government announced the creation of the Future of Sport in Canada Commission. Chaired by Former Chief Justice Lise T. Maisonneuve, the Commission was established to investigate the sport system in Canada with a particular focus on safe sport and overall improvements to the system itself including policy, governance, funding, cultural considerations, and other aspects impacting sport delivery in the country. Individuals and groups were invited to participate in the process in different ways, including the submission of research reports. Led by Drs. William Bridel and Danielle Peers with other scholars and advocates signing in support, a report highlighting research and advocacy work on 2SLGBTQIA+ people’s inclusion in Canadian sport was submitted to the Commission in April 2025. The report is shared here for information.
