Many women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals in communities across Canada are not engaged in recreation and sport for a variety of reasons. This workshop will explore non-traditional ways of understanding the community and, specifically, those who do not typically participate in recreation. Further, the workshop will focus on the creative engagement of partners to optimize recruitment and retention of those women and girls who are not currently participating in local recreational sport. This could mean the coordination and collaboration in a community that maximizes opportunities for participation across facilities and programs.
