🔹 Melanie Carr (🎓Electrician [Construction and Maintenance], 2004) – Registered Red Seal Electrician
🔹 Pamela Cook (🎓Horticulture Technician, 2006) – Horticulture Technician
🔹Claire Anderson (🎓Welding Techniques 2019)

Here’s to continuing to build pathways, break barriers, and support women in trades — today and every day 💙
