THRC Is Celebrating Women In Our Sector This International Women’s Day
OTTAWA, ON (March 7, 2025) — Trucking HR Canada (THRC) is celebrating the contributions of women in trucking and logistics this International Women’s Day (March 8) with a special social media campaign.
The 2025 theme of International Women’s Day is Accelerate Action and is the perfect opportunity to highlight the wide range of roles and responsibilities held by women in the sector.
“International Women’s Day is a time to share the contributions women make that keep our sector rolling,” says Angela Splinter, CEO, THRC. “From behind the wheel to inside the boardroom, women are making an impact in Canada’s trucking and logistics sector. At THRC, we support, celebrate, and empower women in all roles — helping to build a stronger, more diverse workforce.”
The campaign is being rolled out on THRC social media channels starting March 7 and depicts women currently working in Canada’s trucking sector. There are warehouse employees, drivers, mechanics, and CEOs – all photographed in their workplaces around the country. The participants hail from companies who are part of THRC’s Top Fleet Employer program which recognizes fleets who demonstrate the highest HR standards in the country.
The campaign follows THRC’s successful Women with Drive Leadership Summit this week which was attended by women leaders, aspiring leaders, and men from the industry who are committed to encouraging more women to seek successful and fulfilling careers in trucking and logistics.
Trucking and logistics is going to need more women in order to meet forecasted labour shortages in the coming years. Thanks to the efforts already underway from forward-thinking employers, women employed in trucking and logistics increased by 27% in 2021 over 2016 — that’s 26,235 women joining our industry who recognize the opportunities for fulfilling careers in the sector.
International Women’s Day, held annually on March 8, celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the world, as well as serving as a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
