Supporting the Physical Activity Needs of Women of Low Socio-economic Status
(WellSpring, October 2009 issue)

Since 2000, more municipalities across Canada have been offering targeted
programming and scheduling for families, women and low income groups.  But
did you know that women in disadvantaged circumstances—including immigrant
women, multicultural women, low-income women, and single-parent
mothers—report that they do not receive enough information about local
opportunities for physical activities and sport? 

This WellSpring covers the following topics:
• The Issue: Physical Activity and Socio-economic Status 
• The Response: CAAWS Focus Groups 
• What Was Heard 
• Barriers and Challenges 
• Possible Solutions 
• Looking Ahead
