For the week of June 23, 2024:
April Hutchinson is a Canadian champion powerlifter and advocate for keeping women’s sport for women.
Hutchinson was at the B.C. Legislature in Victoria in April when Conservative leader John Rustad tabled the Fairness in Women’s and Girls’ Sports bill. But Premier David Eby’s NDP majority blocked the private member’s bill before it could be debated.
It is an issue of health, safety and fairness, Hutchinson says. She is not alone. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova and Alberta track and field coach Linda Blade (who was a guest on this podcast) have also campaigned for rules against biological male athletes competing in women’s sport.
Listen to host Bob Mackin’s interview with April Hutchinson.
Plus, this week’s Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
