Description

This season, we’ve talked to women about the challenges they’re facing at work and the barriers there still are to leadership. But we can’t do it alone. If anything is going to change, we’ll need men on our side. 

Today, Carla chats with Joe McLeod, City Arborist and Supervisor of Urban Forestry, and Amit Gandha, Director of Parks at the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, about how equity will help everyone. They discuss issues they’ve seen at work and how they’ve reacted, as well as the importance of improving hiring practices and increasing women’s representation in the trades and leadership roles.
