Lisa Ingarfield is joined by Karen Lofstrom who for 30 years has advocated for women and girls in sport in Canada and internationally. We will hear about the trends Karen has seen changes and improvements but also where she thinks we still need to go for more than 30 years. Karen Lofstrom has been an active participant volunteer, leader, mentor and advocate for girls and women in sport and physical activity both in Canada and internationally. After stepping down from her role as the executive director of the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity she has continued to stay engaged in sport as a consultant. Karen's commitment to achieving gender equity in the Canadian sports system is shed through her collaborative approach. She works with organizations to develop gender equity initiatives focusing on getting more girls and women engaged as participants and leaders from physical activity to high performance sport participation to women as board members professional staff and coaching positions. Karen also provides expertise working with organizations that want to create a more inclusive safe welcoming environment for all girls and women including the LGBT community, Aboriginal, ethnic minorities and newcomers.
