Did you know that October is Women's History Month (WHM) in Canada? Established in 1992 by the Government of Canada, this special month provides an opportunity to learn more about women's historic accomplishments and their contributions to Canadian society. The theme this year is Women and Sports – Champions Forever! / Championnes un jour, championnes toujours! Les femmes et le sport.

You may order promotional materials for free by visiting: www.swc-cfc.gc.ca/whm (while supplies last). CAAWS encourages you to promote WHM within your own network in the sport community and to celebrate the achievements of Canada's pioneer sportswomen. Please pass it on!
