Many women in British Columbia find it challenging to engage in levels of physical activity that are sufficient to promote health and marginalized women, in particular, face many barriers to participation in sport, recreation, and physical leisure.

Their aim in the scan was to learn more about the current context for and activities being facilitated to promote physical activity for marginalized women at provincial and local levels in BC.
