An independent committee, formed by the Greater Toronto Hockey League, has found that racism and discrimination exist in the GTHL and that there is a need to put greater efforts into promoting a culture of acceptance and inclusivity.
The committee identified 44 recommendations that the GTHL may look to make in order to bring change in relation to racism and discrimination.
“I think just as human beings we have an obligation to create the safest possible environment for every young person that wants to play this game,” Scott Oakman, the GTHL’s executive director and chief operating officer, told the Canadian Press.
