You are listening to The Future of Curling Masterclasses presented by Curling Canada, with support from the World Curling Federation’s Development Assistance Program.

In this episode we explore equity, diversity and inclusion – what they are, and how they are all interconnected. We also learn about bias, privilege, and best practices when working with historically marginalized communities.

This masterclass is presented by Andrew Paris. Andrew Paris (he/him) is a Collaborator at INclusion INcorporated; as well as the Coaching Lead for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Mentorship with the Canadian Sport Institute Atlantic and the Founder of the Black Rock Initiative. Andrew is working hard to create opportunities for BIPOC youth to try the sport of Curling while also providing curling clubs with the tools and resources necessary to be a welcoming and inclusive facility to their entire community.
