Empowering Canadian Female Leaders

WHAT TAKES PLACE AT HER MARK

The fitness stations are a chance for the participants to meet and interact with some of the top female Olympians in Canada
At each station the Olympian will explain why the movements and activities are important for their well-being and long-term health
Many of the activates do not require equipment so the attendees can continue to do the movements at home
We explain the cognitive benefits and mood regulation of fitness

We feel passionately about teaching the Her Mark attendees about proper nutrition as it is an area that is often overlooked in our educational system
Proper nutrition especially for young women has so many benefits; for example, menstrual cycles means different nutritional needs
Her Mark summit participants are sent home with a healthy recipe book

Mental health issues continue to be one of the greatest challenges teenage girls currently face
The participants are divided into break out groups which provide a safe space for attendees to have their feelings and thoughts normalized and validated
This activity promotes the self-confidence, self-esteem, and empathy of participants
In the groups the participants come up with questions for our special guests
Athletes and celebrities speak very candidly to the participants about eating disorders, body image issues, on-line criticism, depression and anxiety
