Adaptive Sport Facilities & Policy
Within these walls of Carleton University Athletics, you are welcomed, accepted and respected as your full self. We resist, challenge and interrupt systems of oppression that marginalize any individuals and communities based on social identities. We envision an inclusive vibrant community in which everyone creates, shares and enjoys resources and relationships equitably and equally.
