Anti-Oppression Statement
The Burnaby Bears Field Hockey Club is committed to working with athletes, families, and the community to support physical literacy, sportsmanship, teamwork and resilience. We acknowledge that we live and play on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We strive to maintain an inclusive and empowering environment for all our members, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, class, sexuality, ability or age. We recognize that everyone has different experiences and backgrounds which shape their perspectives and welcome this diversity. In order to create a safe space that is inclusive to all, comments or actions that disparage others on the basis of any of the above are unacceptable.
