KW Titans News Release
Ashley MacSporran- Assitant Coach/ Game Day Director
"The goal of this game is to fill the Kitchener AUD with women from any sport or industry to rally behind women in sport. But it goes beyond that, we have male supporters such as Investment Advisor Mark Dickens who is bringing all of his female clients to this powerful event" said Melissa Melnychuk, VP of Business development.
Melissa Melnychuk - VP of Business Development
This is an important game, grounded by a very important message. We want this known as "the event" to be at if you are a female supporting the rise of women, in any industry. "Sport" is an area that women are still working to pave a path for future generations, we have a lot to be proud of, but there is still a long way to go.
"The number of women and girls participating in regular physical activity, recreational sport, and elite competition has increased rapidly in the last few decades. This is significant, considering the fact that no women participated in the first Olympic Games back in 1896. Women and girls, however, who account for more than 50 percent ofÃÂ the population of Canada, continue to be underrepresentedÃÂ in the sport and physical activity system."ÃÂ ÃÂ Sport For Life.
