This process started in 2013, when a complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario was filed against Hockey Canada alleging discrimination in services based on gender identity.
“Timmins Minor Hockey believes that this training is crucial in educating our Team Officials on the subject of Trans-inclusive sport and is proud to be working with Northern Ontario Hockey Association (NOHA) and the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) on this endeavor” - Timmins Minor Hockey Association.
