Imagine a gender+ equitable sport landscape where girls and women, non-binary and transgender people or anyone who defines themselves beyond the binary system can flourish freely in their practice.

  • What are the barriers that stand between the current reality and this future?
  • What interventions can facilitate the change necessary to reach this goal?
  • How can research evidence be used to transform the Canadian sport landscape?


These are the questions that E⋅Alliance, the Research Hub for Gender+ Equity in Sport, will address through its work focused on providing the evidence required to support the sport system in achieving gender+ equity.

To officially launch these activities, the 3 co-directors of E⋅Alliance, Dr. Guylaine Demers, Dr. Gretchen Kerr and Dr. Ann Pegoraro invite you to take part in a roundtable discussion with leaders from the Canadian sport system. Join Tricia C.M. Smith, President of the Canadian Olympic Committee, Karen O’Neill, Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Paralympic Committee, and Vicki Walker, Director General of Sport Canada as they discuss the importance of research for the advancement of gender+ equity in the Canadian sport community.
