Not surprisingly AB appears to be the worst offender.

When the boom was on in Fort Mac the last decade if you had a pulse - male or female you got hired. Every site I have been on up here was very accommodating to women and most trades aggressively recruited them -  there are lots of them here - but no where near half - the truth apparently is most simply were not interested.

I don't blame them - these are not nice places to work, the camps are run like prisons, winters are brutal, it's depressing - you sell your soul for $$ - the ONLY reason anyone goes there to work - but its mostly men that will tolerate it - clinging to a dated ideal about supporting families.

I look forward to the day the government fixes this - the last day I will ever need to carry a 50 pound bag of tools up a 300' tower in minus 40 weather - is the day I can earn the same in daycare.
