What If Sports Were What Men Need Them to Be?
Mar. 4 — Feb. 4, 2026 2:00pm — 3:00pm
What If Sports Were What Men Need Them to Be? is an online learning session hosted by NFF in collaboration with the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region (SASCWR) that unpacks the complex role sport plays in developing masculinities.
Sport culture has long been a site of elevated violence, misogyny, and queerphobia. These issues have been fuelled by rigid and harmful narratives about what ‘real men’ are like. While sports are historically one of few outlets offered to men for socially acceptable community-sharing, these very spaces needed by men for the development of intimate friendships and connection to other men have instead become vectors of further isolation and violence.
In this talk, SASCWR educators highlight the community value in sport, the worrisome gender norms governing sport culture in Canada, and how sport might go in a new way: one which serves everyone better.

The Safety & Repair Approach to gender based violence
Mar. 25 — Apr. 8, 2026 10:30am — 5:30pm
Gender Based Violence Intervention Training - for Practitioners and Counsellors
The training addresses gender based violence, including intimate partner violence, sexual assault and sexual harassment. It introduces individual practitioners and organizations to a process to address gender based violence which seeks to repair harm without creating more harm. The approach often involves two practitioners, one assisting each person involved through the 3-Phase process.
Practitioners will learn about how to address the four components of repair at each phase. The four components of repair involve:
- acknowledging the details of the abuse;
- creating a plan to stop the abuse;
- acknowledging the effects of the abuse and
- creating a future plan to repair the effects of abuse.
