A unique partnership between the Canadian Committee on Antibiotic Resistance (CCAR) and the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) highlights the need for greater awareness and education when it comes to dealing with Staph/MRSA skin infections. CAC and CCAR are launching a national campaign to educate coaches, parents, and athletes. Tactics include promotional literature such as fact sheets and posters, plus professional development modules for coaches through CAC’s website. "Coaches and parents play an important role in the health and safety of our athletes. By being aware of the risks and by following some simple preventative measures, they could be saving an athlete from serious illness," said CAC’s chair Jean-Marie De Koninck. "We are very pleased to be working with CCAR on this campaign and are optimistic that together we will make a difference in the lives of athletes."
