Voices from the Sport Community

Sport leaders across Canada are using oneBADGEsport to simplify onboarding, reduce admin strain, and build safer programs - here's what one of them had to say:
 |
"Badminton Canada recently implemented the oneBADGE system to track the licensing and safe sport compliance with the variety of roles in the association. The oneBADGE system now provides our compliant volunteers, coaches, officials and our Board with the ability to demonstrate their compliance with safe sport protocols. We have plans to expand the system to track compliance with our various athlete teams. Thank you to ISB for their patience and understanding as we evolve the uses and support for our safe sport program."
