SheCANSk8 | Canada Skateboard

A Canadian Coast to Coast Community

WHAT IS SheCanSk8

SheCanSk8 is an intentionally built skateboarding environment that is accessible, safe and welcoming for all participants. SheCANSk8 is a coast-to-coast community for girls and women in skateboarding by girls and women in skateboarding. It is an intentional space actively supported by Canada Skateboard with the priorities of accessibility, safety, kindness and support.

SheCANSk8 aims to:

Promote skateboarding for girls and women
Showcase our national talents
Serve as a network for sharing experiences, exchanging ideas and building the skateboarding culture Canadian girls and women want.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT

Asin many sports, girls and women are underrepresented in skateboarding, but women are often the backbone of community building in skateboarding spaces. We need more girls and women supported in all facets of the sport: as skateboarders, coaches, leaders, officials, volunteers, mentors, and fans. By creating this community, we can increase opportunities and work towards achieving gender equity in skateboarding in Canada.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

We are building our network of clubs and organizations dedicated to creating positive skateboarding experiences and environments for girls and women. Community organizations interested in joining the SheCANsk8 community are invited to send us an email telling us about your club, where you're located, the work you do and any other assets that might be important.
