Samanntha De Coteau, aka 'RooferGirl,' assembled a team of women roofers from across the country after a Plainfield, Ont., woman wanted a female-only team to replace her roof. Vindum, who lives on the Plainfield Heritage Farm north of Belleville, Ont., decided the roofing team she eventually hired would have to be made up only of women. After Vindum contacted her, De Coteau reached out to skilled tradeswomen from across the country. She's now assembled the "Summit Sisters," and they're leading a united call for better support and recruitment for women in the trades. Story continues"I've always been up for supporting women and empowering women, especially in the trades, because that's what empowered me and changed my life."
