"Over the last decade significant headway has been made in creating a more equitable sport system in Canada. While there is still a way to go to achieve equity, there are many positive examples of organizations and sports that have made dramatic change and raised the bar in terms of opportunities for girls and women to participate on a more equal footing. Several of these national sport organizations and multi-sport organizations are profiled in this project. They show the different and creative ways that change has been made. As you read you will see how organizations have had to take into consideration many factors, including the culture and the values of their memberships. Mistakes have been made, there have been setbacks, but persistence and commitment have created environments which are now more open to both genders.
Clearly one of the bigger challenges left to address is the development of female coaches, officials and leaders. While girls and women are participating in sport in larger numbers every year, we still see very few women."
