Thank you, Women\u2019s Trucking Federation of Canada for having us at the 7th<\/sup> Bridging the Barriers networking seminar!<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s event gathered a full range of frontline workers to senior executives and government officials to offer diverse perspectives on various industry topics. We had the pleasure of watching keynote speaker, Sarah McVanel open the day and then attended several insightful panels including Women in Trucking with Hayley Mackay, Hannah MacDonald, Isabelle Fournier (moderated by Polaris CHRO Laura Muir) along with Engaging Today\u2019s Youth (Kelly Henderson) and Ask the Expert (Dr. Audrey Jamal) and the team from Loopstra Nixon LLP.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d also like to congratulate the winners announced in today\u2019s award ceremony! This year\u2019s esteemed WTFC Mentorship Award went to Andrea Boddy of Andrea Boddy Consulting for her positive impact as an outstanding mentor in our industry.<\/p>\n

It was truly meaningful to see David Kelly, President of Innocon Concrete, receive the WTFC Geri Cox Allyship Excellence Award.\u00a0Named in honour of Polaris Founder Geri Cox, this award highlights David\u2019s achievements in supporting, encouraging, and uplifting women in a traditionally male-dominated space. While introducing this award, our CEO, Dave Cox shared his gratitude for Geri\u2019s legacy in starting Polaris and how lucky he is to work with her today. This being the first Geri Cox Allyship Award made it even more special, and David Kelly was the perfect recipient. More details on this award can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once again, thank you to our friends at WTFC for hosting another successful Bridging the Barriers event. We truly enjoyed the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with industry leaders, ensuring a brighter future for the next generation of women joining our industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
