A message to parents: Join us! Help us make this sport safe for your kids and the next generation. Amplify our call for an independent investigation. We all just want the sport of gymnastics to be the joy-filled experience we know it can be.

.@Gym4ChangeCan has renewed calls for an independent investigation into widespread claims of physical, mental and sexual abuse in Canadian gymnastics. The organization’s co-founder @kimshore2022 joins @AntonyRobart to discuss what needs to be done to bring about change.

BCS's plan to retain power after multi calls for resignations.
But the power at all costs crew took their ball, went home, and made new rules that benifit them.
BCS doesn't care about bobsleigh or skeleton. If they did they would've resigned 6 months ago.

The AGM has been moved to Whistler. Great way to isolate the athletes without having the support like they did in Calgary.
Don’t be surprised if their next steps are to invalidate as many member and athlete votes as possible at the AGM.

•AGM date is set on the day the athletes travel.
•Official training for racing starts the following day after AGM
•You are required to be there in-person (OUT OF PROVINCE)
If there was ever a question of being intentional with a personal agenda, this is the most blatant act.

We hear you. A GymCan board member, simultaneously appointed to SDRCC Board of Directors, while Gymnasts for Change Canada is trying to work with OSIC. Perceived conflict of interest is as daunting as any actual conflict. Sport can’t adjudicate sport.

“Basically, the message the police came back with repeatedly was this was a lot of work to go through... I was told, ‘You’re going to take a peace bond and move on. This has shattered me. I've developed PTSD. I have nightmares. I don't trust anyone.”
A woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted in London, ON, in March 2018 by two men, one a Western University hockey player and the second a minor pro player, told TSN she was discouraged by London police from pressing charges.

2 weeks since the BCS President walked out of the AGM denying athletes and members the right to vote. Zero Update or communication.
Remind me again of this “Democratic Process” and whose best interest is being considered....I’m pretty sure it doesn’t include athletes or members.

We can't stop until we figure out who is actually in charge. The new national crisis is realizing we've built a system with no one at the top. Literally no levers to ensure it's operating with integrity, equity, inclusion, safety and wellbeing as core values.

This is good news, (let the real work begin) but it took too long and was too hard to remove this NSO’s CEO and board that had lost the trust of their membership. Imagine the challenge for other sports with limited media and no major sponsors to turn the screws.

‘We’re not being respected.’ Athletes in other toxic sports hope Hockey Canada reckoning is just the start thestar.com/sports/amateur/a… via @torontostar

It never should have taken this long. The reluctance of sports leaders to do what is obviously right (and the bare minimum) in the circumstances should be a glaring signal that the entire system is badly in need of complete overhaul.

AthletesCAN is calling on Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton for an "immediate release of a transparent action plan by BCS, outlining a clear election process, including set dates and deadlines for the next vote, and steps to be taken for compliant member validation." Story upcoming.
