Canada Soccer is excited to announce the launch of four new eLearning modules designed to support members in fostering inclusivity, cultural awareness, and accessibility within soccer communities across Canada. These modules reinforce a commitment to creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants.

By taking the time to invest in learning, we equip ourselves to better understand and support the diverse individuals across Canada who are eager to join our game or are already actively contributing to it.”
