Transforming sport in Canada so girls and women can reach their full potential.

Canadian Women & Sport is a national organization dedicated to advancing gender equity in Canadian sport and physical activity. Since its founding in 1981, it has worked to empower girls and women as athletes, leaders, officials, and participants, advocating for systemic change to eliminate barriers and create opportunities.
