B. Student-Athlete Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Policy
ASAA prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender
identity, gender expression, which includes any individuals who identify
as or are perceived as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual,
two-spirit, queer or questioning. In order to comply with human rights
obligations and uphold the principles of equity and inclusion, ASAA
maintains the following policy to facilitate and encourage the participation
of all students, staff, coaches, managers, trainers and any other persons
associated with high school sport to ensure all members of our diverse
communities are welcomed, respected, accepted and supported in all
aspects of their athletic endeavours. This policy covers participation at
ASAA Zone and Provincial competitions and other activities.
The ASAA recognizes the implementation of this policy will require the
collaboration of all parties involved. ASAA will provide the necessary
supports to all community members and will help to raise awareness about
sexual orientation and gender identity-related issues. These guiding
supports and principles include but are not limited to the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Alberta Human Rights Act and Alberta
School Act.
The Assocation believes that all students, regardless of sexual orientation,
gender identity and gender expression, should have the opportunity to
participate in interscholastic athletic activities in a safe, respectful,
inclusive and non-judgmental environment.
1. Any student, staff, coach, manager, trainer or other persons who identify
as or are perceived as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual,
two-spirit, queer or questioning may participate fully and safely in sexseperated sport activities in accordance with their lived gender identity.
