Sport Canada – INVITATION TO CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES

Sport Canada is accepting proposals from Canadian universities interested in leading Canada’s first Gender Equity in Sport Research Hub. On May 1, 2019, the Minister of Science and Sport, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, announced funding for the creation of a Gender Equity in Sport Research Hub as part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to achieving gender equity in sport by 2035.
