It’s officially official! ✅ Sport Canada’s AAP carding policy update for pregnancy is now live, bringing greater protection for pregnant and postpartum athletes. 👶🏽 Under this new update, pregnant athletes can access a Health Card without it counting against their sport’s quota. That means you won’t lose funding, or future eligibility, just for starting a family. It’s a major shift toward recognizing motherhood as part of athlete development, not a detour from it. 🧠 This policy change was informed by the powerful research and advocacy of Dr. Margie Davenport and Dr. Tara-Leigh McHugh. Thank you for your leadership in making sport more equitable for women in Canada. 🔗 Find the full policy in our Linktree, or head straight to Section 9 here: canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/athlete-assistance/policies-procedures.html#a9 💬 Still have questions? We know that policy doesn’t always equal clarity, or culture change. If you're unsure how this applies to you...
