The number of women holding leadership positions within Canadian sports is on the rise, with a nine per cent increase in the last five years, according to a report released Friday.
The study, conducted by Canadian Women & Sport, a non-profit organization, reveals women now occupy 43 per cent of board seats in the national sport system, reflecting a trend that underscores organizational efforts toward greater gender diversity.
The NSO and CSI numbers are four-per-cent increases, while MSOs saw a three-per-cent decrease from 2022. "The reason I say that is because ultimately, at least at the national level, we're talking about quite a small number of organizations. And so, if a few CEOs or executive directors turnover … it can really shift the numbers quite a bit and so we expect that some of these things may fluctuate a little bit."
