OTTAWA, ON (July 16, 2026) – The Coaching Association of Canada, with support from Women and Gender Equality Canada, has updated resources that are now available to support organizations and coaches in creating impactful mentorship experiences. With practical tools, guides, and learning resources, these materials help build strong mentoring relationships, support professional growth, and create more inclusive and connected coaching environments.
Building on these experiences, the CAC offers practical tools to help organizations and coaches implement and strengthen mentorship opportunities.
Mentorship Guides for Advancing Women in Coaching
These mentorship guides are intended to serve as resources to enhance the advancement of women in coaching. A mentorship guide has been developed specifically for each of the mentee, mentor and sport administrator.
Training for Effective Mentees
This suite of resources is available for sport organizations to host and facilitate three training workshops for mentees. To be used together with the Mentorship Guides for Advancing Women in Coaching as reference material, this training was created to support mentees better understand their role within a mentorship model.
