Every year, International Women’s Day provides a great opportunity to celebrate women, challenge gender biases and create more equality in the workplace. Across Canada and around the world, there are incredible stories being shared. While it is tremendous to see so many industries and sectors taking part in this annual celebration, events such as this demonstrate there is still progress to be made. “The celebration of World Plumbing Day is an opportunity to reflect on the important role the plumbing sector plays in our day-to-day lives, and the skilled men and women plumbers that have continued to serve this industry throughout the pandemic,” said Dave Holek, president and chair of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada. “At the same time, and certainly in the context of a global pandemic, it is even more important that we recognize those systems that are so vital to our health, safety, and well-being. So much of our daily lives is impacted by our plumbing systems, and we are proud to celebrate everyone involved in this essential industry and sector.” The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada has opened registration for the 2021 Student Chapter Summit taking place March 12, 2021, inviting students, faculty and MCA Canada members to take part in the first-ever virtual program for the annual event. This annual event attracts members of MCA Student Chapters from across Canada to meet, network and learn about trends and opportunities in Canada’s mechanical contracting sector.

“I Choose to Challenge” was the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day. This signifies a critical movement to challenge gender-based ideologies that are prevalent in our society. Even though we have made progressive steps in eliminating barriers and amplifying opportunity for women in traditionally male-dominated sectors, there is still much work to be done.
