May 22, 2025

Next week is Anti-Racism Awareness Week in BC (May 26–June 1).

This week is an opportunity to reflect, learn, and take meaningful steps toward creating more inclusive, equitable spaces, both in our communities and in gymnastics. Together, we can build an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, and represented.

📚 Explore educational resources:

  • Anti-Racism in Sport Resource Hub
  • Canadian Race Relations Foundation
  • BC Anti-Racism Act
  • BC Gov Anti-Racism Awareness Week 2025 Proclamation

✅ Ways to take action:

  • Start a conversation about inclusion and belonging at your club
  • Reflect on whose voices and stories are represented in your programs
  • Encourage your team to complete anti-racism training
  • Review your club’s policies and practices through an equity lens

Let’s continue working together to make gymnastics a space where everyone feels safe, supported, and seen.
