Women’s Only Webinar Series (WOW)

There is tremendous knowledge, experience, and leadership among women across Canada’s construction industry. Women’s Only Webinars (WOW) brings that community together to learn, connect and share perspectives.

Open to all women working in construction, WOW features practical conversations with industry leaders, experts and peers on topics ranging from leadership and career development to business, workplace issues and the changing construction environment.

Hosted by the British Columbia Construction Association (BCCA), WOW reaches beyond any one organization or region. Wherever you work in construction and wherever you are in your career, you are welcome.

Bring your experience. Bring your questions. Bring your perspective — and bring another woman in construction with you.

The more experience we bring into the room, the more valuable the conversation becomes.
