Powering better sport through gender equity.

1 in 4 girls are not committed to return to sport post COVID-19.  As sport starts to return, there is an opportunity to change the minds of girls who are not committed to return. Caregivers, teachers, coaches, and community leaders can each play a part to remove the barriers keeping these young athletes away from sport.  We must pay attention to what girls want and design programs with their needs at the centre. It’s not too late to turn this tide. The time for action is now.

With the support of Sport Canada, the 2022 WISE Fund will grant 45 organizations $2500 to advance gender equity in Canadian sport.
