Banff Alpine Racers and Bow Valley Quikies take Safe Sport seriously. Our coaches are required to complete Safe Sport online training each year and attend Club Training. We highly encourage parents to take the FREE online course to educate ourselves on prevention of maltreatment in sport. Athletes in U16-FIS attend in house education sessions on Safe Sport with Head Coaches each season.
In 2022 BAR/BVQ hired Alison Forsyth from ITP Sport presented parent, athlete and coach information sessions at Norquay. In 2024 hired Generation Safe along with LLSC, SSV presenting parent, athlete and coach information webinars. We want to ensure the safety, well-being and inclusion of our membership. Generation Safe specializes in Safe Sport, and are helping guide Banff Alpine Racers and Bow Valley Quikies in the right direction for the future of sport.
