Exhibition celebrates women in sport
Courage, strength, grit and passion — the Girls Can Play, Wall of Fame Exhibition at Forrest Chase in Perth recognises some of our most inspiring local athletes to celebrate the achievements of women in sport.
Created in collaboration between Forrest Chase and SportWest, the interactive display pays homage to 3 prominent West Australian female sports teams — Perth Scorchers, Perth Lynx and West Coast Fever.
SportWest CEO Matt Fulton and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Sport and Recreation Samantha Rowe attended a special launch of the exhibition yesterday, ahead of today’s public unveiling for International Women’s Day. Launch guests included members of the Women of Sport Network and representatives of the 3 sporting teams involved.
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) works in partnership with SportWest to deliver initiatives to support, educate, celebrate and protect the sporting industry.
