Concussion Safety

Concussion Safety

At FCDC we take our diving seriously, and our athlete’s safety seriously.
Ontario is a national leader in concussion management and prevention. Rowan’s Law (Concussion Safety) makes it mandatory for sports organizations to:

1. Ensure that athletes, parents of athletes under 18, coaches and officials confirm every year that they have reviewed Ontario’s concussion awareness resources
2. Establish a removal-from-sport and return-to-sport protocol
3. Establish a concussion code of conduct that sets out rules of behaviour to support concussion prevention
