What is Rowan's Law?
The Ontario Government passed Rowan’s Law legislation in 2018. This legislation is named in memory of Rowan Stringer, who tragically died in 2013 of Second Impact Syndrome, the result of suffering multiple concussions playing rugby three times in six days. The legislation is designed to create a safer environment for competitive amateur athletes, children and youth to play sports.
Effective July 1, 2019, athletes under 26 years of age, parents of athletes under 18, Coaches, Team Trainers and Team Officials must confirm every year that they have reviewed Ontario’s Concussion Awareness Resources. The Concussion Awareness Resources can be accessed free of charge at the following https://www.ontario.ca/page/rowans-law-concussion-awareness-resources
For your convenience, Lambeth FC has attached all of the Ontario Concussion Awareness Resources below for your review. These are also included for review during registration for formal review. Review of these materials during registration is mandatory for both players and parents, and players will not be allowed to play without acknowledgement.
