The Centre for Sport Capacity is excited to announce an upcoming LEAD LIKE A GIRL event in partnership with the Niagara IceDogs. On February 10th from 4-6pm a special Women in Sport Leadership speaker series will be held at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.  

Alongside the PWHPA game taking place at the Meridian Centre, high school girls will attend a panel session before the game to hear from a variety of women in sport with different work positions and backgrounds. This includes marketing and events, administration, training and performance, sport medicine, and a special feature from a media and journalism professional working for The Gist.  

This is a unique opportunity for girls to learn about potential roles in sport and make connections that can inspire their next steps after high school. Join us for thoughtful discussion, a question and answer session, pizza dinner, and a networking social time to get to know one another! 

If you are a player or a student that likes to attend, please contact Raiven for more details!
