Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Esquimalt Athletics is committed to fostering a more inclusive sports culture in our community. We strive to bring attention to increasing equitable opportunities for all participants and we endeavor to elevate under-represented groups, celebrate diversity and invite our greater school community to inspire change.

Esquimalt Athletics will provide opportunities for student-athletes to become champions on the court, on the field, and in the community. Representing a legacy established by over a hundred years of athletic and academic excellence is a responsibility and privilege. Our student-athletes are expected to hold themselves to the highest standard both as students and athletes. Qualities of leadership and character development are integral to the success of our programs.
