One of the best resources for tradespeople in BC is the BC Centre for Women in the trades. They are working to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive skilled trades industry, where all feel welcome, healthy, respected and safe.
They are led by tradespeople, along with industry and labour representatives and are committed to removing barriers faced by equity priority people, including Indigenous people, people of colour, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTIAQ+ people, and women. BCCWITT are working to increase the participation of these equity deserving people in the trades and promote healthier environments in workplaces and training institutions.
Their resources page covers everything from work wear to crisis supports.
