Ending the Stigma Around Skilled Trades

Ontario is facing the largest labour shortage in a generation, particularly in skilled trades.

We are also joined by Kendra Liinamaa, a young millwright working at a nickel mine in Sudbury, Ontario who describes how she overcame her own stigma to pursue her career in skilled trades.
