The OMHA is committed to the prevention of abuse, bullying and
harassment, and the education of our membership. To that end, the OMHA
has partnered with Respect Group Inc. in piloting the offering of Speak
Out! certification as an online e-learning option to our Members.

The program is also allows participants to complete the certification in segments, over a maximum 30-day time period, thus providing additional flexibility.
Respect in Sport online e-learning will also be linked to the Hockey Canada Registry [HCR], ensuring successful OMHA participant certification will be uploaded to the HCR upon completion.
