Thanks to the @ICE_NE for the wonderful send off yesterday! I received these dedicated services and various gifts followed by a lovely thank-you and farewell call! Thank-you everyone! Will be sad to be leaving the North East but am excited about the changes ahead!

As parents of a <1yr old the multiple #lockdown and enforced #isolation has taken a toll. Since March, we’ve seen just c. 10 ppl 👨-to-👩. #zoom has helped us connect and share key moments in 👶 life but nothing can replace that physical contact https://t.co/AX4ULeAMkh

Our final #EngineerOnAMission is @FFritha from our education panel. She loves the sense of accomplishment seeing something she's worked on being built. #TEWeek19 #Stantec #StantecNextGen

Recently I volunteered at Bring It On which hosted 2000 students at the Becon of Light. We built bridges and towers with the students and talked to the students about why we chose to be Civil Engineers. Why did you choose your career path? #StantecNextGen #Stantec #TEWeek19

@FFritha #engineer @Stantec is attending the @InclusiveBoards Women In Engineering Leadership Conference today #WIE100 #StantecWater

[Fritha McCrimmon-Robinson @FFritha]

Does having targets for diverse engineers have a negative side? Does this add to a feeling of exclusion and to 'imposter phenomenon'?
I have experienced this first hand with it being suggested that I was only given an award in NZ because they needed a women. #ibwomeninleadership

[Fritha McCrimmon-Robinson @FFritha]

Listening to @Meshi_Kiyang speaking at the Women in Leadership Conference on barriers for women in engineering. When making her career choices she was asked - "why would you want to do that?"
Q: What barriers have you had to becoming an engineer?
