Indigenous team to compete AT Canadian women’s under-18 tackle football championship
A national Indigenous team will compete for the first time ever at the Canadian women’s under-18 tackle football championship later this summer.
“We look forward to this year’s championship as we continue to grow football for women and girls,” said Shannon Donovan, Football Canada’s executive director. “The participation of an Indigenous team through the leadership provided by Chief Kevin Hart and our diversity, equity and inclusion committee led by Jason Lafferty is enriching.”
“With the tournament taking place on unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin Territory and the capital of Canada, Ottawa, it is fitting for Football Canada to take this major step toward Indigenous inclusion,” Hart said. “By participating in this grassroots effort, Football Canada has acknowledged our unique history in this country and started the journey towards answering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s calls to action.
