Skate Canada is pleased to launch our Education Plan for Anti-Racism and EDIA. This is a collective, active, and sustained educational plan that seeks to establish shared engagement with anti-racism and EDIA resources at all levels across Skate Canada. The Skate Canada Board of Directors, senior management and national office employees, as well as the section leadership teams have dedicated time for their education and have begun the process. We invite all Skate Canada members and registrants to join in this shared educational journey.

The Education Plan for Anti-Racism and EDIA is composed of three phases, with accompanying resource modules:

Phase 1 – Learning about Race and Anti-Racism (Modules 1 to 3)

• Release date: January 19, 2021

Phase 2 – Race, Sport, and Agendas for Change (Modules 4 and 5)

• Release date: March/April 2021

Phase 3 – Fostering Positive Change in the Skate Canada Community

• Release date: Summer/Fall 2021 (Module 6)
