About this Event

Hosted by Bow Valley College, Chiu School of Business.

This event spotlights key findings from a research project led by Bow Valley College for TheBraGirl, in partnership with MITACS.

The study gathered insights from mothers of teenage girls living in Calgary, Alberta through surveys and in-depth interviews. These perspectives helped uncover current challenges around teenage girls’ participation in physical activity - particularly as influenced by access to adequate breast support - viewed through the lens of the primary female caregiver.

What to expect:

A clear summary of key research findings

  • Impactful viewpoints from mothers of teenage girls
  • An introduction to practical resources women can use to help shift the statistics around girls’ long-term participation in sports
  • Opportunities for reflection, learning, and meaningful collaboration.

This event offers actionable insights and grounded conversations aimed at strengthening the foundation of support teen girls need to remain physically active and engaged in sports for longer.

Seating is limited and pre-registration is required!

Light refreshments including coffee and tea will be provided.
