SAFE SPORT
Speed Skating Ontario is dedicated to providing training and competition environments that are safe, inclusive and welcoming for all members.​
​
By joining SSO and participating in SSO Sanctioned Activities, I will:
Be guided by the True Sport Principles and demonstrate my commitment. As a participant in speed skating, I will:
GO FOR IT – Rise to the challenge. Always strive for excellence. Be persistent and discover how good I can be.
PLAY FAIR – Understand, respect, and follow the rules. Play and compete with integrity. Understand that competition is only meaningful when accessible, inclusive, and fair.
RESPECT OTHERS – Show respect for everyone involved in creating my sporting experience, both on and off the ice. Win with dignity and lose with grace.
KEEP IT FUN – Find joy in speed skating and all forms of sport and physical activity. Share it with others and always remember what I love about sport and why I skate.
STAY HEALTHY – Always respect and care for my mind and body. Advocate for my health and safety and those around me.
INCLUDE EVERYONE – Recognize and celebrate strength in diversity. Recognize who is not participating. Invite and welcome them to speed skating.
GIVE BACK – Say thanks and show gratitude. Get involved in different ways. Encourage my friends, family, and Club to make a difference in the community.
