Rowan's Law Day is Tomorrow! Please wear purple!
Published on Sep 25, 2018 21:41
In 2018, a new law called Rowan’s Law was passed in Ontario. It will help protect people who play sports, or play
active games in schools, help teachers, parents/guardians and coaches learn about preventing concussions, and
help people who get concussions to recover.
Have you ever bumped your head or body? Probably! We’re all at risk
of sustaining a concussion but because some bumps can hurt our brains and our brains may need a lot of time to
heal, Rowan’s Law was created.
Thanks to Rowan’s Law, all sports organizations and schools in Ontario will have new rules in place around
concussions. Even when we do our best to prevent injuries there is always some risk. Rowan’s Law will help coaches,
teachers, and parents/guardians, know when a child has suffered a suspected concussion and that they should
immediately stop participating in physical activities, and help them to identify when it’s safe to play again.
