The two Island sisters who started the conversation about equity in school sports are pleased to see the province plans a full review. Students Brayah and Lexie MacDonald asked why in provincial school competitions, female golfers play just nine holes while males play the full 18. The province announced on Thursday that a full gender-equity review will be undertaken by the P.E.I. A full review of gender equity in school sports is expected over the next few months. It pointed out that high school girls did play 18 holes until 2016.
