Sport in Canada: A History

by Don Morrow

This updated and expanded third edition examines the role of sports, games, and pastimes in Canadian life throughout Canada's history up to the present day. Assessing the broader social context within which particular sports emerged or disappeared, Sport in Canada also examines some of the forces - such as gender, ethnicity, and class - that have shaped the games we play.

[Dasha · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short and highly accessible textbook on sport history in Canada. It's a fine starting place for further exploration with a strong bibliography to continue exploration. My main issue is that Indigenous participation in sport, and people of colour more broadly, are only highlighted in some sections rather than being fulsomely integrated.
