Thank you.
Status of Women Canada did give us funding of $200,000 for a two-year project. The project has several different components. We have to work with women to raise their awareness of non-traditional sectors, and we also have to work with employers. Actually, raising awareness among employers as to the integration of women in those sectors is a major part of this project.
To date, we have been in contact with a lot of women. Lastly, we organized a job fair. Approximately 200 people participated. We had 25 exhibitors. And we received great feedback. We provided the women at the fair with new opportunities. Employers, adult training school representatives and sectoral committees were present, and everyone really appreciated the event, especially since it was an opportunity to recognize the current needs.
