My son suffered a concussion playing soccer. He was given quick medical attention, assessed & protocol followed. He wasn't rushed back. After he failed the first test to play again he remains sidelined. Thanks to @RowansLaw his health and safety was put first. #OUA #headsmatter

I first met Rowan’s parents in person @Kattham19 and @Rowans_Dad when presenting them the 1st PINK Concussions Award in Feb 2016. Their 2014-15 advocacy to change the status quo in Rowan’s memory was a huge inspiration to me as I launching PINK. @RowansLaw #RowansLawDay – at Toronto, Ontario

In honour of Rowan Stringer, it's important to remember: A #concussion is a #braininjury. It's important to know the symptoms and where to get help. #RowansLawDay #OBIACanHelp

Wearing purple today for #RowansLawDay to support & raise awareness on concussions. We need to be smarter about safety & looking out for each other when a concussion is suspected be it on the playing field or otherwise. @RowansLaw @Rowans_Dad If in doubt sit them out. #RWC2019

The symptoms of a concussion can be subtle, but significant. Know the signs. #HitStopSit

'We have a concussion problem' in Canada, Ken Dryden will say at a hearing tomorrow.
There “is plenty of awareness. The problem is sports decision-makers who don’t take this awareness, and act.”
Example: Why are head hits legal? Bc the NHL says so.
