Dear Dave:

On the 630 AM Ched Radio Stereo show hosted by Ryan Jespersen today, staff from Women Building Futures & a female ironworker were on the show. This is a great idea promoting women to take courses in the trades because over the next 10 years over 250,000 people will be retiring from the trades. So I for one appreciate Ryan helping to promote women getting into the trades to cover the deficit of tradespeople we will be facing. Besides if women can handle the taxing normally upper body labour challenges of the job, they should be more than welcome! Many can work in areas that a male might not be able to fit into on jobsites!

Traders,

Rory
