MEDICAL

ROWAN’S LAW:

Rowan Stringer was a 17-year-old Rugby player from Ottawa who passed away after sustaining a concussion and continued to play where, a few days later, she sustained another brain injury, leading to her death from Second Impact Syndrome (SIS). In response to this tragedy, and to evidence of the impact of concussions on athletes, the Ontario Legislative Assembly passed Rowan’s Law which went into effect on July 1, 2019.This law applies to all sport organizations registering athletes and coaches.All Ontario U26 athletes, parents of U18 athletes, coaches and officials must confirm that they have reviewed age appropriate concussion resources on an annual basis – IT’S THE LAW. This is included as a requirement on our Zone4 race registration.

HEALTH, WELLNESS:

We ask that all members, visitors and athletes collectively share in the responsibility for general health and wellness of all. Please only come onsite if you are healthy. Use hand sanitizer and wear a mask if you might be contagious. Masks welcomed at all times.
