The following Women Only Basic Coach Workshops were held during the 2008/09 season:
- Women Only Basic Coach in Nova Scotia
- Date: January 2-4, 2009
- Location: Martock Ski Hill
- Learning Facilitator: Natasha Burgess
- Number of Participants: 3
- Women Only Basic Coach in B.C
- Date: January 2-4, 2009
- Location: Whistler Blackcomb
- Learning Facilitator: Leanne Tompkins
- Number of Participants: 6
Several more women were trained as CSCP basic coach; these women were participants in co-ed courses that were offered through Canada~Snowboard. There were a total of 37 women trained as basic coach.
This initiative was considered important because:
- There is a lack of trained female snowboard coaches at all levels of snowboarding (grassroots to high performance);
- The training and certification program for coaches in Canada is currently dominated by both male participants and male learning facilitators; and
- There are currently no other women only snowboard coaching or instructing opportunities being provided.
