Real Impact: Wheelchair Basketball Canada

For Wheelchair Basketball Canada, we reviewed their Gender Equity Strategy and Plan through an intersectional lens. Their goal is to recruit and retain more women and girls in various roles, including participants, coaches, champions, and officials.

"Canadian Women & Sport helped us focus and prioritize our gender equity projects by providing leadership, expertise and best practices from sport and business. The planning facilitators we worked with created a safe space for open-sharing and deepened our organizational knowledge through targeted lunch and learn sessions. As a result of the Gender Equity Strategy and Plan WBC and CWS co-created, we have revamped our Women’s Nationals and are seeing increased participation year over year."

Real Impact: Saskatchewan Soccer Association

With the Saskatchewan Soccer Association, we delivered two customized Gender Equity workshops to their staff and board members to support them in applying the Gender Equity LENS process in their work. The goal was to explore unconscious biases, share best practices around the application of an intersectional gender equity lens, and identify opportunities for positive change through discussion and reflection.

"At Saskatchewan Soccer, we really believe that sport is a place for anyone to participate. In order to create a sport system that reflects that, we needed to ensure we have access to knowledge, information and resources to support us on this journey. CWS and their wonderful facilitators helped provide custom facilitated sessions, which provided an opportunity to come together to learn, share, have open conversations and identify opportunities to progress our sport in Saskatchewan. We are a better organization for having completed these sessions."
