At a live event Monday, the federal government announced $2.5 million in funding to give Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people more opportunities to participate in sports and physical activities. Ten provincial and territorial Indigenous sports bodies will carry out projects that respond to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).
Adam van Koeverden, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and to the Minister of Sport, is pictured at the announcement.
The MMIWG calls for more support into the health and wellness of Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people, among other recommendations. On Monday, van Koeverden also announced renewed funding for Indigenous youth in sports with a $20 million federal investment over five years, starting in 2022-23.
