To achieve gender equity in sport and in Canada, everyone needs to commit to playing their part. Whether you’re a coach, CEO, athlete, parent, or fan, there’s a role for you.
She’s Got It All
When it comes to sport, women and girls have got it all, and then some. Unfortunately, they also have an extra set of challenges that men and boys do not.

Canadian Women & Sport is committed to supporting women and girls and helping everyone involved in sport understand those challenges so we can tackle them together.
