The LEAP: Women in Construction event returns to Vancouver on March 6, 2026.
Hosted by the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) in partnership with Canadian Construction Women (CCW), LEAP is now in its third year and brings together women and allies across the Lower Mainland for a day focused on leadership, connection, and professional growth.
The 2026 event will be themed “Women Who Build,” setting the stage for an elevated and welcoming experience that blends inspiration with celebration.
“LEAP continues to be an important platform for bringing women together from all corners of the construction industry,” said Jeannine Martin, president of the VRCA. “Representation matters – not only in who we see leading conversations, but also in creating spaces where women feel seen, heard, and supported as they build their careers.”
Registration is open for this highly anticipated conference, and sessions will include:
- Keynote Session: The Working Brain – Unlocking Your Full Potential
Dr. Brynn Winegard - Toolbox Session: Leading With Compassion
Nicole Bryant, CEO, NRCA - Toolbox Session: Owning the Room
Natasha Jeshani, President & CEO, Career Contacts
“LEAP allows us to share actionable ideas combined with strong community building opportunities to ensure women continue to grow to see construction as an excellent career opportunity,” said Stephanie Hun, president of CCW and vice president of Business Development at FlatironDragados Canada. “The impact of LEAP extends beyond a single event – it helps build confidence, expand networks, and open doors to new opportunities within the construction industry.”
