As we celebrate International Women’s Day, it's an opportunity to reflect on the role of women in leadership, particularly within traditionally male industries like engineering and science. At Pario Engineering & Environmental Sciences, four remarkable leaders Sarah Murphy, Director Engineering Atlantic Canada; Kathleen Hopkins, Manager Project Coordination; Diane Wunder, Operations and Client Relationship Manager Western Canada; and Yvonne Quigley (Hird), National Vice President of Business Development, are showing how empathy, communication, and mentorship can help shape successful teams.

Committed to fostering an equitable environment for all, Pario actively supports initiatives that empower women to excel in their careers. By creating opportunities for mentorship and collaboration, Pario enhances the visibility of women's contributions while also addressing the challenges women have faced in advancing their careers.
