About Us

Our Champions for Change

canfitpro leadership team

The land and waterways that we are currently on have been, and continue to be, the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Wendat, Anishinaabeg, and Mississauga Nations and are part of the 1923 Williams Treaties. Prior to colonization, the peoples of this land agreed in the Dish With One Spoon wampum to peaceably share and care for this land and waters. We honor the stewardship of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit that call this land home today. canfitpro strives to stand in solidarity and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and invites all of its community to do the same.

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee is a team of canfitpro employees selected to champion initiatives and improvements to the overall collective approach to canfitpro’s purpose as the voice of the Fitness Industry in Canada.
