safe sport & inclusion

Maskwa is committed to building a safe and fun environment where everyone can enjoy the best of what we offer, no matter the level or program.

Maskwa’s Code of Conduct sets behaviour expectations for all participants, staff, volunteers and family members. As a member of Canoe Kayak Canada  and the Atlantic Division of Canoe Kayak Canada, Maskwa also adheres to the safety, diversity, and inclusion policies of these umbrella organizations.  

Any questions or concerns about safe sport and inclusion can be directed to Maskwa’s Commodore at commodore@maskwa.ca. Any Maskwa member having an experience that falls short of Maskwa’s safe sport and inclusion commitment, is invited to reach out for confidential support from a designated board member or to make a complaint (informal or formal) at codeofconduct@maskwa.ca.
