In this episode, we chat with Marika Warner, the Director of Research and Evaluation at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) Launchpad in Toronto, ON, Canada, about the effects of COVID-19 on sport-for-development programming and how MLSE Launchpad has navigated challenges of the global pandemic. MLSE Launchpad is a sport-for-development facility for youth facing barriers in downtown Toronto and MLSE Corporation’s largest community and charitable investment. MLSE LaunchPad is a "place where youth facing barriers use sport to recognize and reach their potential" (http://mlselaunchpad.org/).
