Lethbridge, Alberta: The Lethbridge Sport Council is excited to announce a FREE Women and Girls' Sport Day at Legacy Park on Thursday, September 28th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Thanks to generous funding from Makadiff Sports, this event offers a unique opportunity for girls aged 7 to 17 and their mothers or female guardians to explore and participate in a variety of sports in a supportive and fun environment.

Led by experienced community sport leaders, participants will get the chance to try sports such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, rugby, and a fitness session led by Amy from Yabba Fitness.
