In the construction sector, gender equality remains a challenge. However, the landscape is shifting, and events like the networking evening organized by Les Elles de la construction are a testament to this change. Held on April 25, this gathering highlighted the growing role of women in an industry historically dominated by men. Hosted in the modern offices of PCL Construction in Montreal, the event brought together passionate and determined women committed to breaking barriers and making their mark in the industry.

An elegant setting for a memorable evening

The event took place in a refined setting in the heart of Montreal, providing an atmosphere conducive to meaningful exchanges. The spacious and state-of-the-art offices of PCL Construction served as the perfect venue for this networking evening. The positive energy in the room reflected the enthusiasm of the attendees, all eager to share their experiences and support one another in advancing their careers.

Inspiring Women in the Spotlight

Among the highlights of the evening was an exceptional presentation by PCL Construction, led by some of the company’s most inspiring female leaders. These women, experts in their respective fields, shared their remarkable career journeys and accomplishments. From engineering to project management and architecture, each one represented a facet of the female talent driving the construction industry forward.  

This initiative reflects PCL Construction’s commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women to thrive within the company. Indeed, parity and diversity are core values at PCL, setting a standard in an industry where women remain underrepresented.

Networking Full of Opportunities

Beyond the inspiring speeches, the evening offered a wealth of networking opportunities. Participants exchanged business cards, shared practical advice, and built essential professional connections. These informal interactions provided the perfect chance to expand their networks and gain fresh perspectives. These valuable connections will undoubtedly open doors for those looking to advance their careers in the construction industry.

A Step Closer to Gender Equality in Construction

As the evening came to a close, with smiles and new contacts added to their address books, one thing was clear: Les Elles de la construction is not just an organization—it’s a true community of women ready to revolutionize the industry. Events like this provide these professionals with a space to grow, exchange ideas, and support one another, actively contributing to making gender equality in construction a reality.

A Promised Evolution for the Industry

The networking evening at PCL Construction clearly demonstrated that women in construction are stronger, more connected, and more ambitious than ever.
