Take 5 - Motivate Me!

The Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport (CAAWS) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to creating an equitable sport and physical activity system in which girls and women are actively engaged as participants and leaders.

CAAWS provides a number of services, programs and resources to a variety of clients, including sport and physical activity organizations, teachers, coaches, health professionals and recreation leaders.

CAAWS works in close co-operation with government and non-government organizations on activities and initiatives that advocate for positive change for girls and women in sport and physical activity in Canada.

The "Take 5 - Motivate Me!" is a contest organized by CAAWS to get students thinking about ways to use physical activity as a motivating factor to stay smoke-free. This might be a fun activity to do in a girls physical education class. Click here to learn more!
