Girls from across central Labrador got hands-on at CNA today, trying out trades. Maybe 200 girls (maybe more?) packed the gym and workrooms for a conference encouraging young women to broaden their career ideas, and consider trades. How many of you have baked a cake? Mary Clarke asked the crowd. Well, if you can ice a cake, if you can spread icing on a cake, you can spread concrete. Its the same thing. Women make up about 13% of tradespeople in this province. Thats much more than even five years ago. But with events like todays -- put on, in part, by the provinces Office to Advance Women Apprentices and the Women in Resource Development Corporation -- no doubt that number will grow.
