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
