Building on the Momentum of International Women’s Day, Canadian Olympic Committee and CAAWS Launch New Classroom Resource to Inspire Girls and Young Women to be active in Sport and Physical Activity through the Olympic Movement
“CAAWS is very excited to be celebrating International Women’s Day by partnering with the COC to launch the Canadian Olympic School module inspiring girls and young women to be active as well as hosting Women and Leadership workshops in Ottawa, Halifax and Vancouver,” said Karin Lofstrom, CAAWS Executive Director. “It is a great opportunity to have these five female Olympian role models sharing their stories with us as we continue to work to create more opportunities for girls and women to participate and lead in sport and physical activity.”
Fewer than one in twenty girls and young women currently get the recommended amount of daily physical activity, while less than one in ten boys accomplish the same. The Canadian Olympic School Program’s latest classroom module: Give Your Everything: Get Active, includes a classroom module, a teacher’s guide and targeted articles to help parents, teachers, coaches and youth leaders help engage girls and young women, as well as boys and young men, in the tangible benefits of getting and staying active.
Give Your Everything: Get Active was drafted by educational experts in collaboration with CAAWS.
