Rowans Law Day 2025 - Sept. 24

Rowan's Law is Ontario, Canada's concussion safety legislation, enacted in 2018 to protect athletes by mandating Concussion Codes of Conduct, Removal-from-Sport, and Return-to-Sport Protocols for sports organizations and educational institutions.

Named after Rowan Stringer, a high school rugby player who died in 2013 from Second Impact Syndrome after sustaining multiple head injuries.

Annually, the last Wednesday in September is designated as Rowan's Law Day, to raise concussion awareness and educate the public, students, staff, athletes, and coaches.
