Summer, a season of celebrations and moments of sharing, is also the perfect time to honor those who stand out in their field. In Montreal, a memorable event recently celebrated women in construction, bringing together inspiring professionals and influential figures, including the Minister of Labour, Employment, and Social Solidarity, Jean Boulet.

An unforgettable summer event

Held on the stunning rooftop terrace of Montréal Cowork, this summer cocktail took place in a festive yet elegant atmosphere. A summery décor, soft background music, and refreshing drinks created the perfect setting for this networking and celebration evening. The event allowed participants to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate their collective successes in an industry still predominantly male.

An inspiring speech by Minister Jean Boulet

The highlight of this 5 à 7 was the speech by Minister Jean Boulet, who took the floor to emphasize the importance of diversity and inclusion in the construction industry. He highlighted government initiatives aimed at modernizing the sector and providing more opportunities for women and minorities. 

"Women play a crucial role in transforming our industry," said the Minister, encouraging the audience to continue on the path of innovation and excellence. After his speech, he took the time to personally greet each participant, offering a personalized moment to each, further strengthening the spirit of recognition and connection.

This unique project is dedicated to women entrepreneurs who want to launch and grow their businesses successfully. With practical advice and inspiring stories, the podcast promises to be a valuable resource for ambitious women.

A meaningful celebration

This evening was more than just a summer cocktail. It served as a platform to recognize the contributions of women in construction while creating networking and community-building opportunities. The event also highlighted that, thanks to inclusive initiatives and leaders like Jean Boulet, barriers continue to fall, paving the way for a more equitable future for all.

 

The women in construction left with well-deserved recognition and renewed energy to continue excelling in their profession.
