CHAMPIONING WOMEN IN CANADA’S ENERGY SECTOR

Being a member of Canadian Women in Energy has strengthened my involvement in the sector. Through the Calgary Chapter, I have expanded my network and gained meaningful opportunities for mentorship, volunteering, learning, and cross-sector collaboration. I am proud to be part of a community that supports women’s leadership and contributes to the future of Canada’s energy industry.

Being part of Canadian Women in Energy has not only strengthened my career — it’s strengthened my sense of purpose. Through this community I’ve gained opportunities I might never have had, built friendships that feel like family, and discovered the power of solidarity. Now, as a mentor, I get to give back — to lift up talented women coming after me, just as others helped lift me.

Canadian Women in Energy has connected me with a strong community of supportive and inspiring women. Through the CWiE mentorship program, I was paired with a mentor whose experience closely aligned with my own, leading to meaningful conversations and practical guidance. Along with the many other great programs CWiE offers, it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience that has helped me grow my network and achieve professional goals within the energy industry.

When I first entered the Oil and Gas industry, I discovered a LinkedIn post about CWiE. At the time, I didn’t know anyone in the organization—but that changed quickly. Today, I feel like I’ve joined a sisterhood of supportive, like-minded women!

As a junior woman in engineering, CWiE has provided me with a sense of community within the energy industry and valuable professional development through its mentorship program. I was thoughtfully matched with a mentor whose experience closely aligns with my career goals, enabling meaningful and relevant guidance. Through our discussions, I was able to better map my career trajectory, receive insight on my P.Eng. application, and identify goals, professional development.

Being part of Canadian Women in Energy has been incredibly impactful in my personal and professional journey. When I first entered the oil and gas industry over 10 years ago, there were limited opportunities for connection, mentorship, and guidance, especially as a woman navigating a traditionally male dominated space. Today, that’s exactly why this organization means so much to me. CWiE creates a space where women can connect, support one another, and grow both in confidence and in their careers.
