Concussion Protocol and Return to Sport Guidelines

Sail Canada values the long term health of all individuals. As such we have a comprehensive Concussion Management and Return to Sport Policy and associated procedures.

Our Role in Concussion Management
We have been working closely with current research and national sport and concussion related groups to ensure our policies are up to date and address concerns specific to sailing.

The policy addresses these main components:

  • Education and Awareness
  • Removal from Sport Protocols
  • Return to Sport Protocols

 

Our policies and procedures are intended to be implemented for all ages and all participants recognizing the potential effects of head injuries. The health and safety of everyone involved with sailing in Canada is of utmost importance.
