Who We Are

Canadian Women & Sport has been championing gender equity in sport for over four decades. As the national voice on women and sport, we harness the power of sport to drive meaningful change—not just in the game, but across society. We’re building a sport system where women and girls can lead, thrive, and shape the future—on the field, in the boardroom, and beyond.

Our Vision

A Canada where every woman and girl thrives in and through sport.​

Our Mission

Building a sport system that includes and empowers all girls and women.

Our Values

We lead with courage and curiosity, act as one team, drive equity forward, choose progress over perfection, and infuse the journey with joy.

At Canadian Women & Sport, we’re reimagining the game.

We’re building a sport system where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging aren’t just ideals—they’re the standard. Across every program and policy, we work to ensure that everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to participate fully and fairly.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Canadian Women & Sport is dedicated to building a sport system where everyone feels welcome and has a fair chance to take part. We focus on equity and inclusion in everything we do, from leadership to programs and daily operations.

We continue to learn through research and dialogue to ensure sport is safe and welcoming for everyone.
