Equity Initiative Fund
At Remix we’re committed to increasing participation, access, and experience within artistic swimming and are excited to announce that we’ve established the Remix Equity Initiative Fund. Artistic swimming has traditionally been perceived as a sport that values sameness. Given the vast diaspora that is east end Toronto / Scarborough, artistic swimming isn’t representative of the communities in which we serve. In order to increase diversity in our sport, we must remove barriers to access which includes, and is not limited to: knowledge, recruitment, enrichment, access and financial barriers. This support is intended for all levels of our sport.
What does this mean for you?
If your athlete identifies as a member of one or more of the populations listed below, you may be eligible for a grant ranging from 10% and 75% of their inclusion based and/or team programming fees, depending on their level of eligibility:
- Indigenous
- Black
- Person with a Disability
- Male

In doing so, the Board of Directors and the Leadership Team will have a better understanding of existing representation as well as the level of support and training required within the Remix coaching staff. If awarded a grant, athletes will have the opportunity to receive the funds or donate them back to the Equity Initiative Fund.
