EODSA Statement of Inclusion

The EODSA proudly joins Ontario Soccer in its statement of inclusivity.  We will expand this website section so that it is a place where members can find educational recourses.

Ontario Soccer is embracing inclusivity as a priority core organization value.

As Ontario Soccer strives for a more inclusive game, the organization also recognizes that diversity is a great strength - one that we must uphold by keeping it at the centre of every decision we make.

For our friends in the LGBTQ+ community, Ontario Soccer is pledging to move towards a more inclusive soccer experience.

"We have learned a great deal from the community we are celebrating, and we will forge ahead inspired by the same bravery, resolve and peaceful change we have seen from this group." said Peter Augruso, President and Chair, Ontario Soccer Board of Directors.  "Ontario Soccer will move forward with courage and determination, working to address any prejudices that are present in our programs and services.  We all play a part in making soccer a place that is open to everyone and we will continue to promote these values."

Today, Ontario Soccer is making a pledge to our community, including our friends in the LGBTQ+ Community, to embrace inclusivity, while championing for vital change.
