You would not want to miss this insightful session where we'll address the persistent gender gap in Canada's forest sector. Despite some progress, women remain vastly underrepresented, comprising only 17 per cent of the workforce. Kathy will delve into the power of mentorship and wraparound career support systems in paving the way for young women to succeed in forestry. Catherine will share her journey from mentee to mentor in PLT Canada's Green Mentor program, shedding light on its transformative impact.
