Hawking-Evans said she chose golf as the sport to build the program around "to increase the participation of Aboriginal women in the game of golf as it is widely played and enjoyed in the Aboriginal business community. The Swing into Action program is being funded through Team Spirit: Aboriginal Girls in Sport, a project of the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity and the Aboriginal Sport Circle designed to create opportunities for Aboriginal girls and women to get involved in sport at the community level. Other partners in the program include the Calgary Foundation, Eaglequest Calgary, where the skills portion of the program will be held, and the Alberta Golf Association, which will be supplying instruction manuals to program participants. ...
Female Olympic athletes had a 10-year reprieve from not having to prove they actually are women, but it appears for the Vancouver Games. The 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney were the first Olympics since 1968 that women athletes did not have to be "tested" through a buccal smear to make sure they were female. These tests, which used a swab of saliva from the athletes, can have a 20 per cent false-positive rate, something the IOC chose to ignore. Instead they sent women packing, telling them to feign an injury or be exposed as not really being female. Needless to say these quasi-scientific "proofs" of sexuality devastated women who knew they were women, no matter what the faulty test read. Finally in 2000, the IOC's athlete's commission persuaded them to get rid ...

After decades of declining participation that saw ringette players jump to women's hockey after that sport was accepted into the Winter Olympics, local ringette organizers say they've not only stopped the bleeding, they're actually making a modest comeback. I know I can't go anywhere with it," says [Brown], "but it's still so much fun that it doesn't matter to me. Supporters of ringette's bid point out that the domination of women's hockey by two countries -- Canada and the United States -- didn't prevent that sport from gaining acceptance as an official sport for the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano.

There have been other stories reported in the Free Press regarding sexual exploitation and neglect of those with intellectual disabilities. Many people with intellectual disabilities reside in the community with few supports. Consequently, they are at risk for exploitation and abuse. Unfortunately they, too, are most at risk of "falling through the cracks." Adults with intellectual disabilities are often as vulnerable as the children written about in the Free Press. They too deserve our outrage and support when the situation goes horribly wrong as in the case of this young woman. This is war -- plain and simple. To suggest it is anything other than that, is foolish and dangerous. The casualties (ours) will likely triple. A moral ground? Surely the writer is also on the same board that o...

There is no clarity on how these values and norms are carried and manifested by organizational actors in a given institutional environment. While some scholars such as Selznick (1957) argued institutional influences apply in the same way to all organizational actors within an organization, highlighting the role of leaders in particular, others (Meyer & Rowan, 1977; Seo & Creed, 2002; Thornton, 2002) have tended to consider differing and conflicting cultural viewpoints among actors within an institution. The main question that needs to be addressed is: do actors within organizations who are exposed to the same degree of influence share the patterns of institutional values and norms consistently; or, does systemic differentiation occur among organizational actors based on their di...

We think we've done a really good job, we're proud of being the host city for both Canada's national (volleyball) teams and we'd like to continue all the great things that we've been doing for our athletes," said Bruce Kent, head of Winnipeg's bid committee and a former assistant coach with Canada's senior men's team. "One of the things that Manitoba does well is volleyball," he added. "Our performance in volleyball exceeds our population and our participation in volleyball exceeds our population. We're good playing it, participating in it, supporting it and we're good at hosting elite levels of it. "Because of the volume and intensity (at which) these athletes are training, it's impossible to have a part-time job," said [Diane Scott], the University of Winnipeg Wesmen women's volleyba...

Teenage girls represent the most highly sought after market segment in the U.S. because of their keen interest in shopping and their significant spending power. Teenage girls spend more time than teenage boys in shopping environments and outspend boys in every category except videogames. So, teenage girls clearly love to shop--but do they perceive themselves as good shoppers or is this a group who feels out of control when it comes to spending wisely and making considered decisions regarding purchases? If they lack the expertise and self-control to perform shopping tasks successfully, then there are numerous financial and psychological implications, including accumulating debt and exhibiting compulsive shopping behaviors that continue into adulthood. In order to examine teenage girls in...
