Pride in Sport

Our Pride in Sport program aims to provide a safe place for LGBTQIA+ identifying people to participate in sport.

We believe all people have the right to freely participate in recreation, fitness, and sport, and benefit from the wellness it brings. As the first University to be a signatory to the ACON’s Pride in Sport Program, we are currently working to implement inclusive practices to ensure the safe and equal inclusion of LGBTQIA+ identifying people.
