Women’s Squash Week

A Celebration of Participation, Connection, and Leadership in Squash

Women’s Squash Week is a foundational annual program of Squash BC that brings communities together to celebrate and grow the game for women and girls across the province. Held each September, this province-wide initiative welcomes participants of all ages and skill levels to discover squash, reconnect with the sport, and build lasting connections on and off the court.

But Women’s Squash Week is about more than just participation, it’s also about elevating women as leaders and role models in the squash community. From hosting events to mentoring new players, women play a vital role in shaping inclusive, inspiring environments where everyone can thrive.

In 2024, over 579 participants took part in 39+ events at 17 facilities across BC. With the 2025 program running from September 19 to October 6, Squash BC is proud to once again provide ambassador support, event equipment, and a comprehensive toolkit to support local champions in deliver meaningful programming. Whether you’re picking up a racquet for the first time or leading the charge in your club, Women’s Squash Week is your moment to participate, inspire, and lead.
