Concussion Awareness Day Highlights the Importance of Athlete Safety
On September 23, 2026, Albertans are encouraged to recognize Alberta Concussion Awareness Day. This provincial initiative promotes greater understanding of concussions through credible, evidence-based information.
Alberta Concussion Awareness Day is an important reminder of the need to prevent concussions, recognize symptoms, respond appropriately when injuries occur, and support safe recovery and return to sport. Athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and sport organizations all have a role in creating safer sport and recreation environments.
Approximately 20 per cent or 3,000 of the nearly 15,000 concussions diagnosed annually in Alberta emergency departments are sport related. However, many concussions may go unreported or unmanaged due to a lack of awareness about concussion recognition and reporting, meaning the full impact of concussion across the province may be greater.
Learn more about Alberta Concussion Awareness Day and access trusted information and resources through the Sport Medicine Council of Alberta’s Concussion Awareness webpage.
