Creating memorable and inspiring experiences for participants each year, We Play Too focuses on the positive influence of sports by encouraging participants to use their strengths both on and off the field, inspires resiliency in the face of adversity and shares leadership skills through the lens of the journey as an athlete. This year’s conference is anticipated to welcome hundreds of participants from across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
In addition to sports demonstrations and try-it sessions, participants will have an opportunity to network with local athletes and engage with sports leadership professionals in a panel and Q&A session. Panellists include:
