As recreational facilities reopen across Canada, a new report says that many girls may not be returning to the sports they played before the pandemic.
by Canadian Women & Sport, and done in collaboration with E-Alliance and Canadian Jumpstart Charities, looks at sport participation among girls between the ages of six and 18, and the impact that the pandemic has had on them.
Allison Sandmeyer-Graves, CEO of Canadian Women & Sport, said that it’s important to understand what girls need and want in sports programs in order to encourage participation as things open up. And, with the pandemic, some of the barriers that girls reported facing prior to COVID-19 have become even more challenging for them, such as the access they have to quality programs and a lack of confidence.
From a survey conducted in June 2020, the data also shows that weekly sport participation among girls and women declined as they got older.
