This September we hosted our first Girls with Grit Sport Summit- a two-day event aimed at empowing girls through sport participation. By age 14, girls drop out of sport at twice the rate of boys the same age (Women’s Sport Foundation, 2008). At the Wood Buffalo Sport Connection, we want to work towards changing this by providing young females with the opportunity to feel like rock stars, and build them up so they feel confident trying new sports and working towards being active for life.  

See below for our event Impact Report and Summary!

2025 event details coming soon!
