Provincial Labour, Immigration, Trades & Skills Development Minister Monte McNaughton released a video on the topic as well.
Careers in the trades are for everyone. We need more hardworking women like Colleen, Sophia, Nicole, and many others I've had the chance to meet, joining the skilled trades.
We're lifting all boats and spreading opportunity to every corner of our province. pic.twitter.com/8QdmR1zJhg
