Concussion Awareness Week was established in 2021 to increase concussion awareness by providing information and encouraging action in communities across Canada. Concussion Awareness Week is for everyone with a role in sport and recreation – participants, parents, coaches, organizers, educators, and more.
This year, Concussion Awareness Week is taking place from September 23 to 30.
Concussion is an injury that should be taken seriously. But, like other injuries, you can take the proper steps to heal and get back to your favourite sports and activities.
Follow along on this page throughout this week for more information and resources.
The GTHL also houses its Concussion Policy, concussion column and news, concussion management information, and more at GTHLCanada.com/concussions.

Rowan’s Law Day is dedicated to the memory of Rowan Stringer, a young Ottawa rugby player who died tragically in 2013 from the effects of multiple concussions.
Rowan’s Law requires that all coaches and team trainers review the government-approved Concussion Awareness Resources every year before serving in a sport organization or at a school.
