With regard to women, I believe that the culture amongst employers is going to have to change significantly, particularly in the construction field. I think there are some pretty big challenges that must be met there. Employers need to be made aware of the situation of women. A book has even been written on this topic by an Alberta woman. She describes the work environment and culture in the construction field. There also have to be mentors to help women and provide them with information and training.
