Gender Equity
After Day 6 at the Pan American Games, Team Canada women have won 32 of Canada’s 55 medals (58%) plus 4 mixed team event medals. This success is in line with the 2015 Games, where women won 51% of the the team’s medals, and 61% of the golds. As the number of events for women has increased towards equality with men, so too have the number of women on the Canadian team, and their potential for medal success. However, there is still work to do – only 21% of Team Canada coaches are women.
