Melton council is hosting a special, free breakfast to celebrate women in sport and empower the next generation of sportswomen on December 12.
Speakers at the 2023 City of Melton Women In Sport Breakfast will share their stories of success, as well as the challenges they have faced and overcome to reach gender equity in their sporting code.
Australian paraclimbing champion Sarah Larcombe will deliver the keynote speech. Larcombe is an elite paraclimbing athlete, scientist and disability advocate and was the first Australian to win an International Federation of Sport Climbing World Cup.
The event, which is open to the whole community, is being held at Witchmount Estate, Leakes Road, Plumpton between 7.30am and 9am.
Melton Mayor Kathy Majdlik said it is vitally important that all women, young or old and from any background have opportunities to participate in sport.
“By encouraging women to take part in community sport, share their skills and ideas, we build stronger, more connected and resilient neighbourhoods,“ she said.
“As we saw with the Matildas this year, we have come a very long way in getting behind female teams and promoting female participation in sport but there is still a lot of room for growth, which is really exciting.“
