Assessment

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's claim that one out of two Canadian girls drops out of sports during their teenage years is consistent with Canadian sports participation data and the statistics cited by FitSpirit, for which she served as spokesperson beginning in 2016. FitSpirit's literature explicitly highlights that 'one out of two girls gives up sports when they hit puberty.' Furthermore, reports from Canadian Women & Sport (noting that 50% of Canadian girls stop participating in organized sports by age 16 to 17) and an October 2023 Dove/Nike study (finding a 47% drop-out rate among Canadian teenage girls) corroborate that approximately half of Canadian girls disengage from sports during adolescence.

FitSpirit organizational materials and a June 2020 press release document that 'one out of two girls gives up sports when they hit puberty.'
The November 2024 Rally Report by Canadian Women & Sport reported that the proportion of Canadian girls missing out on sport rises to 5 in 10 (50%) by age 16.
A September 2025 Canadian Women & Sport campaign reported that 50% of Canadian girls stop participating in organized sports by age 17.
An October 2023 Dove and Nike study found that 47% of Canadian teenage girls drop out of sports.
