Who are we?
In January 2021, these like-minded individuals connected through the Alberta Women in Trades Facebook group with the goal of supporting women in trades.
There is a gap in the industry for supporting women in the trades, but they also realized it wasn’t just women in need of some extra support. Everyone including underrepresented groups such as visible minorities, indigenous, and members of the 2SLGBQTI+ communities would benefit.
