July 26, 2024

Ontario Tech’s Dr. Joseph Gurgis says one of the reasons safe sport goals have not been reached is due the development of dozens of safeguarding initiatives that are intended to support a safe environment, but are not empirically or theoretically driven. Dr. Gurgis is addressing this gap through new research leading to the development of a resource that will provide coherent, effective and proven safe-sport guidelines.

Ontario Tech marks Pride Month

June 03, 2024

Every June, Ontario Tech University celebrates Pride Month in recognition of the progress made to achieve equal rights and inclusion for 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual) individuals. Pride Month takes place in June, commemorating the social activism resulting from June 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City. The Stonewall Riots served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement and 2SLGBTQIA+ activism. Pride Month honours 2SLGBTQIA+ voices and experiences while drawing attention to issues members of the community still face, and highlights the continued importance of resisting various forms of transphobia, biphobia and homophobia.
