A new study is shedding light on the barriers non-binary youth in Canada face when it comes to participating in team sports.

The research found that just 11 per cent of non-binary youth between the age of 15 and 29 play an organized team sport.

Meanwhile, the sport participation rate among all Canadian youth aged 13 to 19 is 70 per cent, according to Martha Gumprich, the study’s author.
