BC Hydro has released a statement about its commitment to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of its workforce. Over 2,500 women work at the company, while men and women are paid equally for their roles.

They are also promoting BC Hydro trades at schools with Women in Trades programs and providing inclusive leadership training for all managers and crew leads.
