Welcome to Sportopia, the place to re-imagine the future of sport! This week’s episode explores the current landscape of safe sport. Hosted by Dina Bell-Laroche and Steve Indig, partners of Sport Law, this podcast discusses what is commonly being labelled as “safe sport”. This episode features Will Russell, a member of the Sport Law legal team, who has spent the last year supporting organizations as they navigate the implementation of the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC) and creating the framework of a safe sport culture. Together, they discuss how the Canadian sport sector moves beyond “safe sport” to thriving sport.
