Testimonials

The scoping review is great. We really appreciate how the work is laid out in a format that is easy to understand and digestible and believe the Appendices only strengthen the document. This is something we would never have had the capacity or expertise to undertake and believe it is only going to positively impact our research work going forward.

- Tom Davies, Director Athlete and Coach Development, Special Olympics Canada

It is easy getting things done with the Sport Information and Resource Centre. Huge knowledge and amazing connections within the Canadian sport sector. We had the privilege working with SIRC on multiple occasions and it was easy for us to implement the results from that collaboration.

- Thorsten Gohl, Physical Literacy Northwest Territories

The literature review conducted by SIRC provided our team a deeper understanding of female golf participation. Specifically, the results of this literature review provided Golf Ontario with the data and insights to guide the development and implementation of a new suite of initiatives for women to TRY, LEARN & PLAY golf.
