148. She’s paving the way for women in the construction trades!

Mary-Anne Bowcott did not initially set out on a path to join the construction industry. But as she started to figure out what she wanted to do after school, she started exploring unconventional options and found herself drawn to the trades. While she initially struggled to find employment, she persevered and eventually found someone willing to give her a chance as a roofing laborer.

19 years later - she is proof of what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it. Mary-Anne is now a successful and award winning business owner of not 1 but 2 businesses, Westcom Plumbing and Gas, and Westcom Roofing and Sheetmetal. She is a roofer, a Red Seal journeyman Plumber, and a Class B gas fitter. And she is paving the way for young women seeking a career in the building trades.
