Flagship Sports Initiatives

Last Man Stands (LMS) and Last Woman Stands (LWS) Canada

LMS and LWS Canada are the flagship sports initiatives of Inclusive Canada Foundation. Inclusive Canada Foundation is the master franchise holder in Canada of the Last Man Stands league, the largest amateur cricket league in the world, with 260,000+ amateur cricketers across 2,000+ cities. Through LMS and LWS Canada, we use fast, accessible, technology-enabled cricket to create inclusive sport pathways for newcomers, youth, women, 2SLGBTQIA+ population, students, families, workplaces, community leaders, and other equity deserving groups (EDGs).

Interested in bringing LMS and LWS to your city? We are open to conversations with local organizers, investors, municipalities, schools, universities, and community partners.
