CAAWS and the Aboriginal Sport Circle are committed
to learning and sharing information about the needs,
interests and experiences of Aboriginal girls and young
women, and the realities of providing community sport
programs for this target group. Team
Spirit consultations are designed to increase
capacity at the local, provincial/territorial, and national
levels to increase the participation of Aboriginal girls
and young women.
CAAWS and the Aboriginal Sport Circle will host consultations
in each Team Spirit community.
Practitioners and policy makers from across sectors
delivering sport and physical activity programs, involved
in health promotion, and/or serving Aboriginal communities
are invited to attend these events.
What will be discussed?
Talk about the importance of sport and physical
activity for Aboriginal girls and young women, discuss
what barriers they confront to their participation,
and identify strategies to keep them active!
Share your own physical activity experiences, and
program successes and challenges.
Learn about the community programs and how you
can be involved.
Hear about the national Team
Spirit project, the Aboriginal Sport Circle,
and the Canadian Association for the Advancement of
Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS).
