Today is International Day of the Girl.
Canada helped establish this day through a resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2011, recognizing the rights of girls and the barriers that continue to limit their opportunities.
At Calgary Adapted Hub powered by Jumpstart, we know that girls with disabilities can face added barriers to accessing sport, recreation, and physical activity.
Every girl deserves opportunities to move, play, participate, lead, and belong.
When we listen to girls, work alongside families and communities, and intentionally remove barriers, we create more opportunities for girls to participate in ways that are meaningful to them.
Today, and every day, let’s keep building sport and recreation spaces where all girls have the opportunity to thrive.
