CAAWS Focus Group Report: Physical Activity and Women 55-70 (PDF)

Click the title to download the report.

From April – July 2006, 38 focus groups were conducted in Whitehorse, Vancouver, Westlock (rural community one hour north of Edmonton), Regina, Thompson, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Moncton and St. John’s. In Montreal, Ottawa and Moncton, focus groups were conducted in both French and English. In every community three different groups came together: a group of community stakeholders; a group of women 55-70 that considered themselves active; and, a group of women 55-70 that did not consider themselves active. Results of these focus groups were compiled and sent to partners and focus groups participants.

Measured time: women, sport and leisure

Library Item No: A194

Differences between men's and women's perceptions and experiences of time and leisure have implications for their approaches to sport and physical activities. The special circumstances of women's lives, in particular their responsibilities for domestic work and child care, contribute to a perspective that tends to be task-oriented rather than time oriented, qualitative rather than quantitative, and altruistic rather than self-interested. Thus, women may be alienated by sporting activities that are rigidly circumscribed by the clock , the rulebook and the win-at-all-costs mentality

The Oldest Basketball Team in the World

A documentary film about going for the gold.
This documentary combines two elements rarely seen together – elderly women and contact sports!
The Retreads is the first ever women’s team to compete in the over age 65 category at the World Masters Games which were held in Edmonton last year. Five of the key players live in the Vancouver area and are world class athletes: Basketball Hall of Famers, MVPs, and Pan Am & World Master’s Games medal winners. Darlene Currie, who put the team together, has often been referred to the Steve Nash of her day.

This documentary follows The Retreads as they come together and through their four months of arduous preparation traveling between two different cities, Calgary and Vancouver, their intense back-to-back games at the Masters Games in Edmonton, and the aftermath of winning and losing. Eight months later, the documentary revisits the team to ask if it was all worth it.
