WiC Victoria

Established in 2013 by local industry leaders, WiC Victoria’s focus is to promote and support female participation in the construction industry. Throughout our events, we have been fortunate in hosting a diverse group of women (and occasionally men) from accountants to engineers.

Each event is bigger and better than the last thanks to all the support from our sponsors, tour guides, event hosts, and especially our members. Our Victoria Chapter currently has 552 members, and we average about 40 attendees at our events. Although events are intended to be educational, informative, with a focus on personal growth — it is the social interactions with like-minded women which feels just as valuable. WiC Victoria events occur on the last Wednesday of every month. 

WiC Mandate

  • To develop an informal network among women in the construction community.
  • To provide career and personal development opportunities.
  • To connect women and their supporters throughout the construction community.
  • To promote a career in construction to the next generation.

Women in Construction (WiC) is proudly promoted and supported by the Vancouver Island Construction Association.
