Rowan’s Law was passed in 2018 in the Province of Ontario, making it a leader across Canada for raising awareness around concussions and making sports safer for children.
Any participant under the age of 26 who registers to be a member of a speed skating club and the Ontario Speed Skating Association after July 1st 2019 needs to do the following two things:

Both of these requirements will need to be confirmed on a yearly basis.
