On behalf of Sakinah, a girls' club located in Saskatoon, SK, with a mission to unite and inspire young females.

As Saskatoon continues to grow and become more diverse, we believe it is essential to adapt and cater to the unique needs and preferences of our community members.

Our petition centers around a simple yet meaningful request: to introduce the first-ever girls-only swimming hours in the swimming centers of the City of Saskatoon. This initiative aligns with our mission to foster inclusivity and provide a safe, comfortable environment for all residents, regardless of their gender.

Many women in our city, for various reasons, often feel uncomfortable swimming around men. This discomfort can be a significant barrier to them enjoying the numerous benefits of swimming, such as physical fitness, relaxation, and overall well-being. By offering girls-only swimming hours, we aim to address this concern and create a more inclusive and welcoming space for everyone.

The introduction of girls-only swimming hours will serve several important purposes:

Promoting Inclusivity: This initiative will demonstrate Saskatoon's commitment to inclusivity and respect for diverse community members.

Empowering Girls: By providing a dedicated space, we empower girls and young women to engage in physical activities, improve their swimming skills, and boost their confidence.

Encouraging Healthy Lifestyles: Access to girls-only swimming hours can encourage more women to embrace a healthier lifestyle through regular exercise.

Creating a Safe Space: It will create a safe and comfortable environment for those who may feel vulnerable or self-conscious around male swimmers.

We believe that by implementing girls-only swimming hours, Saskatoon can set an example for other cities in Canada and around the world when it comes to fostering inclusivity and accommodating the diverse needs of its residents. It's a small change that can have a significant impact on the lives of many.

We kindly request your support in making this initiative a reality. We are confident that by working together, we can create a more inclusive, empowering, and welcoming community for everyone in Saskatoon.
