ENCOURAGING WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORT

“Girls and women are underrepresented and under-served in Canadian sport as athletes, leaders, and decision-makers. Our challenge? To harness the power of sport so that girls and women everywhere can benefit, and to build a stronger, more equitable sport system for all Canadians.” (Canadian Women & Sport, 2021)

As a provincial sport organization, we are committed to fostering and promoting diversity, inclusion, and access to gymnastics within our member clubs. We will accomplish this through increasing the number of people from diverse and under-served populations participating in our sport.

We have compiled a list of education and training opportunities, resources, funding, and contacts in regard to encouraging women and girls in sport, from organizations such as the Women’s Sport Foundation, Canadian Women and Sport, Sport for Life, and Sask Sport to name a few. If you are looking for information and resources to maintain and develop the strong demographic of women and girls that we currently have in our sport, this is a great place to start!
