A recent study of B.C. youth indicated that gay, lesbian, and bisexual teens are half as likely to play sports as straight teens.
To create more inclusive, safe and welcoming spaces for all British Columbians to participate in sport and physical activity regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, viaSport is helping coaches, parents, athletes and volunteers understand how to create inclusive spaces for individuals that identify with the LGBTQI2S community.
