As we get closer to the legalization of cannabis in Canada, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) would like to take this opportunity to remind the sport community that cannabis will remain prohibited in sport, no matter its legal status in Canada.

The CCES offers several resources to help athletes and support personnel navigate cannabis legalization. The Cannabis in Sport Education Kit is available for coaches, administrators, teachers, and others to download. The kit contains materials to help leaders deliver the message about cannabis in sport to athletes and support personnel. To download the kit and access a quiz, FAQ, resources, and more, visit www.cces.ca/cannabis.
