The Hydro One-sponsored Return to Coaching Community Grant seeks to provide Ontario coaches and players with the resources they need to go back on the field. Sport is very important in our communities. While we are extremely thrilled about the idea of returning to play, we equally know that many coaches will be responsible for additional expenditures (such as PPE, specific equipment, and more) in order to keep themselves and their players safe. This fund intends to help coaches cover some of these costs.
We acknowledge the land on which ParaSport® Ontario was built is the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, the Wendat, and the Haudenosaunee peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today Toronto (also known as Tkaronto) is home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
