    It is great to see more women in the industry. Also noticing more emphasis on employee appreciation which I feel is because there are more women in leadership positions. Women seem to be more aware of showing appreciation then men do for the most part.

    I think the stereotype is starting to fade and with more high schools promoting females in trades we are seeing more interest from a co-operative education level. I find a large presence of women in the field outside of trades from building inspectors to project managers and everything in between.

    I am fairly new to the construction industry. However, I am a proponent for placing the right person in the right job regardless of their gender.

    We have more women in the field than ever. It's not close to even 25%, but I have high hopes!

    Pretty embarrassing that women are STILL not well represented in construction.

    We have more female employees than ever, and more in higher roles as well. We are fortunate to have a very supportive management team.

    We have a lot more woman working in the office in our industry than in years past. We do have one female PM who is thriving.
