This Policy will:

  1. Promote the benefits, principles and opportunities of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within Canada Artistic Swimming and with all partners and stakeholders.
  2. Place athlete, coach, official, staff, and volunteer health and well-being at the forefront of all decisions, thus putting the person first over any outcome.
