“Be flexible, know what you can control & have a team first attitude.” Jocelyne Larocque gave gold medal case re gender inequities in sport. Stats, #’s & $$ re media coverage, marketing, investments, salaries, coaches, players, facilities etc! Challenges but also opportunities.

[UNB Women in Sport @unbwis]

We are so excited to hear Jocelyne Larocque speak! She recently just won gold in the Beiijing Olympics for ice hockey! An inspiration to all! 🤩

Every member of this panel is fantastic! So many amazing gems including the fact that all panels should be more inclusive / intersectional. @unbwis

“Do I feel like I belong here?” We need to ensure EVERYONE feels comfortable when they enter a workplace /dressing room /sport venue. Still lots to be done! So glad Toni Francis shared the courage it took to stay & make a difference! Gender & Racial Inclusivity panel @unbwis
