You want people to feel like they belong. Sometimes, knowing what to say isn’t so simple.
Recreation and sport bring people together. They’re also full of everyday moments where gender can show up — on registration forms, in change rooms, on teams, during introductions, in conversations with parents, or simply in the language we use without thinking about it.
What happens when a participant shares a new name or pronouns?
How do you respond when a colleague makes an inappropriate comment?
What are your options for navigating challenging conversations, or when you make a mistake and need to respond in the moment?
BB4I gives your team practical tools for navigating those moments.

Self-paced
BB4I: Beyond Binary for Inclusion™ is a Canadian-produced, self-paced e-learning series that combines foundational learning about transgender and gender diversity with practical communication skills learners can use in real recreation and sport environments.
It’s designed to be low-pressure and non-shaming — creating room to learn, reflect and practise while maintaining accountability for how our words and actions affect others.
Who is it for?
Built for the people who make recreation and sport happen.
BB4I is designed for recreation and sport leaders, staff and participant-facing teams, including:
Municipal recreation departments
coaches and instructors
Aquatic Staff
fitness leaders
camp and summer staff
outdoor recreation teams
Sport Organizations
Program coordinators
managers and volunteers
Whether someone is leading the organization or meeting participants at the front desk, BB4I gives teams a shared foundation and practical language they can use consistently.
Part 1 - Foundations
Trans and Gender Affirming Inclusion in Recreation & Sport
Build a shared understanding of gender identity, gender expression and belonging — and recognize how assumptions and barriers can show up in everyday team sports and recreation programs.
Learners will explore key concepts and terminology, the impact of language and assumptions, gender-identity-based barriers, relevant human rights foundations, and how these concepts connect to everyday behaviour and inclusive leadership.
Part 2 - Applied Skills
Pronoun Power-Up & Inclusive Communications
Move from knowing to doing.
Learners practise using inclusive language, responding when mistakes happen, repairing misgendering without making the moment bigger, navigating challenging comments professionally, and responding to resistance without escalating the interaction.
Access Options:
✔ Individual Learner
✔ Team License
✔ Enterprise Licensing / Custom Integration
Built around real moments - not perfect answers.
Scenario 1: A participant tells you they’re using a different name and pronouns.
What do you say next?
Scenario 2: A staff member repeatedly misgenders someone.
When—and how—do you step in?
Scenario 3: A person questions why you're using gender-inclusive language.
How do you respond without escalating the conversation?
Scenario 4: Someone makes a joke about another participant's gender. The room goes quiet. What now?
Scenario 5: You use the wrong pronoun yourself. Do you apologize? Explain? Move on?
BB4I helps learners practise what to do in the moments that actually happen.

What Folks Have To Say

Regional Coordinator, Non-Profit Sector
"We feel supported knowing that SGF is there as we continue our equity and justice work as an organization."
Verified Participant
"I like that the course is primarily about gender identity, as I think cisgender members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community often forget that their experience as a marginalized person is different than that of trans and gender non conforming people."
