The Return to Sport Task Force has been hard at work in developing Canada’s COVID-19 Return to High Performance Sport Framework. The members of the Return to Sport Task Force can be found here. Own The Podium extends their gratitude to all members of the Task Force who have provided extremely valuable feedback, insight and guidance in developing this first phase of the COVID-19 Return to High Performance Sport Framework. OTP’s Sport Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC) was another critical contributor to the various guidelines the Task Force has developed. We also received valuable feedback from the Public Health Agency of Canada and have been able to incorporate their important suggestions into the attached documents.

The materials produced are:

1. COVID-19 Return to High Performance Sport Framework, May 2020, which you can find HERE.

2. COVID-19 Risk Assessment Tool for Sport R-SAT, Appendix A, which you can find HERE.

3.Club Risk Assessment and Mitigation Checklist Tool, Appendix B
