The Olympic Ranking Index (the Index) is a product of Sport Canada, based on data collected and compiled through the Sport Tracking, Assessment, and Technical Statistics (STATS) database. The Index offers a system to determine Canada’s annual ranking on the basis of their aggregate results across all Senior World Championships and Olympic Games that occurred over a four-year period. The Index provides a fair, consistent and objective foundation to track, compare and evaluate a nation’s overall performance over time. A number of indicators are used: gold medal count, medal count, medal points, top 5 count, top 5 points, top 8 count, and top 8 points.

Concussions in sport are a recognized public health issue due to the frequency of occurrence and their potential short and long-term consequences, including cognitive, emotional and physical symptoms and, when left undetected, even death. This research is essential for gathering information on Canadians’ current understanding of concussions (and particularly concussions in children and youth) in order to inform the development of a Pan-Canadian Concussion Strategy. This research will also help establish a baseline of information, which will be used to measure progress and report on performance, following the implementation of the Canadian Guideline on concussion in sport and protocols on return-to-learn and return-to-play.
