Sheldon Kennedy and Bruno Gervais from Respect Group met with the Montreal Canadiens at Brossard’s Bell Sports Complex on Monday.
They were invited by the Montreal Canadiens to speak with the prospects during the training on respect and consent and during the breakout sessions.
“What I see from the Montreal Canadiens is a commitment to lead in this space and to me that’s how we’re going to have significant change. I don’t think this is just a hockey issue. This is a societal issue. But if I look at the culture of hockey I think we’ve got some catching up to do.” – SHELDON KENNEDY
“I’m here because I see leadership and I see an organization that wants to be the best it can be in this space,” he added.
Having honest conversations is an important step towards culture change. The Canadiens are among teams in Canada who need to complete the Respect in the Workplace training mandated by the NHL to prevent bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination.
