Time to Celebrate Women
Hard to believe that it is March already! For a year that feels like it just started it is moving fast, and the consensus I am getting from most is, “I can barely keep up right now”. Although we may be spending much of our time looking out right now, and it is hard not to, there is still a lot going on in our market. And in this issue, we want to ensure that everyone is celebrating the women that are working in the electrical industry across Canada and the World as International Women’s Day approaches (March 8, 2022). Be sure to check out the great article by Daniela De Marco, ‘Moving the Needle Forward on International Women’s Day” and join EFC and your peers to celebrate International Women’s Day virtually on March 8 from 2-3:30 est. Enjoy! |
