MANITOBA CONSTRUCTION SECTOR COUNCIL
Colleen Munro
Colleen Munro, owner of Munro Group, says she “would like to
promote young women to consider and choose a career in the
construction industry. A majority of construction companies lack
skilled workers and women bring a unique set of skills, which our
industry requires and will appreciate.”
Nina Widmer, journeyperson bricklayer, is a trailblazer for other
women seeking entry into trades.
Having been the first female in Manitoba to enrol in the
Bricklayer Apprenticeship program, Widmer knows what it’s like
to be a female in a male dominated industry. It has become one
of her goals in life to be a part of the movement that supports and
encourages more women to try the trades. “There are so many
opportunities in the trades to learn, grow and financially support
yourself. My hope is that more women will want to join and be a
part of an industry that is continuing the growth and prosperity of
our beautiful province and country,” she said. n
