9:56 AM EST – Bank of Nova Scotia : Announced the first participants chosen for its inaugural Scotia Rising Teammates mentorship program. The 21 mentees were first unveiled during Sunday’s Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest virtual summit. Research shows that by age 14, girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys. One of the many barriers contributing to this decrease in participation is the lack of female role models and mentors. While female coaches keep girls engaged, only 27% of youth coaches are women. Bank of Nova Scotia (T.BNS) shares were down $0.35 at 77.69.
