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:

💬 Still have questions? We know that policy doesn’t always equal clarity, or culture change. If you're unsure how this applies to you and don’t feel comfortable reaching out to your NSO, message us. We’ll help you get the answers you need.

✨ Know someone this might help? Send it to them. Save it for later.
