Access to sport has improved since the early days of COVID-19 but a new report suggests that a “lack of social ties” post-pandemic is creating “a very significant and growing barrier” to participation for some Ontario youth.
MLSE, the parent company of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, released the report Wednesday through their foundation.
The foundation says the findings will “help shape MLSE LaunchPad’s strategic plan for scaling programs and coach training initiatives into more communities, a new government partnership for Ontario-wide youth programming and recommendations to the 2023 Canadian Sport Policy.” Warner says that many youths, specifically Black, Indigenous and people of colour, reported not having anyone to talk to when they have negative experiences in sport.
Youth also reported a lack of trust in coaches and authority figures in sport, with many saying they believe nothing will be done if they come forward with concerns about mistreatment or that they’ll face negative consequences if they speak out.
