Allison Sandmeyer-Graves takes the lead today, diving into a topic that's been making waves in the sports world.

As the CEO of Canadian Women & Sport, Allison has been at the forefront of these conversations. With her extensive background in advocating for gender equity in sports, she offers a unique perspective on how we can foster a more inclusive and safe environment for all athletes. Her unwavering commitment to change and her belief in the transformative power of sports make this a conversation you won't want to miss.
