When Lillianne Dunstall was working in the roofing industry she sometimes felt like she was on an island on her own, despite being surrounded by supportive men.
That all changed when she went to her first National Women in Roofing (NWiR) event.
“When I walked into the room and started speaking with other people, there was this feeling of safeness and of comfort and of just feeling that I wasn’t alone,” she said.
“That’s what struck me the most.”
Dunstall, who retired from Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance in 2019 after working in the roofing industry for 17 years, will lead the board of directors as chairperson for the newly formed National Women in Roofing Canada council, which is gearing up to launch this spring.
