Girls and Women: Active Across the Lifespan (3 hours)
This interactive workshop explores common experiences that influence the sport and physical activity participation of girls and women across the lifespan, building on CAAWS’ On the Move, Mothers in Motion and Sport and Physical Activity for Women 55-70+ initiatives. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the social and systemic barriers that limit girls’ and women’s participation, and a number of valuable tools to enhance programs and services for all girls and women in their community.
