Canadian Women & Sport is dedicated to creating an equitable and inclusive Canadian sport and physical activity system that empowers girls and women—as active participants and leaders—within and through sport. With a focus on systemic change, we partner with sport organizations, governments, and leaders to challenge the status quo and build better sport through gender equity.
Femmes et sport au Canada se consacre à la création d’un système canadien de sport et d’activité physique qui valorise les filles et les femmes — en tant que participantes actives et chefs de file — avec et à travers le sport. En mettant l’accent sur un changement systémique, nous nous associons avec les organismes sportifs, les gouvernements et les chefs de file pour remettre en question le statu quo et améliorer le sport grâce à l’égalité des sexes.
At Canadian Women & Sport we are dedicated to creating an equitable and inclusive Canadian sport and physical activity system that empowers girls and women – as active participants and leaders – within and through sport. With a focus on systemic change, we partner with governments, organizations, and leaders to challenge the status quo and to advance solutions that result in measurable change.
Same Game Challenge is for school leaders who are inspired to reimagine how girls access sport and physical activity but have been frustrated in their ability to make efficient and effective change. Leaders will be provided with a step-by-step process that guides them on how to connect with their students to identify gender inequities. Leaders will develop the skills they need to create sustainable change that closes the gender inequity gaps they face. School leaders will also receive access to expert coaching and peer support throughout the process.

- School leaders from Ontario are eligible.
- Participating schools will receive $1000 for their participation in the program.
- The program is six months. School leaders access the online toolkit and work through it at their own pace, while connecting once monthly with their facilitator who provides one-on-one support and once monthly in a Community of Practice setting with the other participating schools.
- The program will run from November 2024 – April 2025.
- Because much of the program is self-paced, school leaders can jump in and out as their schedules demand.
- Typically, 2-3 leaders (e.g., physical education teacher, a highly engaged teacher) work through it together.
