Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit Programs

About Our Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Programs

The Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Programs at the MASRC support the well-being, leadership, and empowerment of Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals in the city. We offer safe spaces where participants can connect with their culture, build confidence, and develop skills through sports, recreation, and cultural activities.

Indigenous women and girls face barriers that often prevent them from staying active in sports past the age of 13. These include cultural disconnect, limited access, and safety concerns. Recognizing the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit individuals (MMIWG2S), our programs aim to create a supportive environment where participants feel safe and empowered.

By providing culturally relevant opportunities for growth and leadership, we help urban Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals build resilience, stay engaged, and become strong leaders in their communities.
