Alberta's Fairness and Safety in Sport Act has sparked significant debate across the Canadian sports landscape.

In this episode, Rich Lenkov is joined by sports lawyer Will Russell of Sport Law to discuss the legislation's requirements for female-only sport divisions, the governance challenges it creates for sport organizations, and the potential legal, operational, and reputational risks facing event organizers and governing bodies.

The discussion explores the balance between competitive fairness and athlete inclusion, the role of provincial governments in regulating sport, and what Alberta's approach may mean for the future of sport governance in Canada and beyond.
