Several ARIDO Eastern Ontario Chapter Members were on hand for the inaugural launch of Ottawa CityBuildHERS event at the RedBlacks football home opener on June 10th. This was the first bi-annual event intended to connect women in all industries that impact city building, to encourage more women led development projects in design and in construction.⠀

ARIDO's own, Lynn Ferron was part of the organizing committee for this initiative, she reports:⠀
⠀
On June 10th, at the #RedBlacks CFL home opener football game TD Place in Ottawa, a new movement was kicked off at the new East End Zone Lounge... CityBuildHERS was born, a new vehicle to celebrate and connect women in the design, engineering,  architecture, construction, and real estate industries.⠀
⠀
There was a strong presence of ARIDO EOC Members, as we made meaningful connections with women in our industry, promoting, collaborating, elevating each other, and forming partnerships to promote female driven leadership for major city, provincial, and federal development projects.⠀
⠀
A panel discussion was moderated by Jennifer Cross, Business Development Manager for MARANT Construction, featuring Taya Cook from Urban Capital Developments.Taya shared her project, "Reina Condos", the first all-women development in Canada.⠀
⠀
She explained how she formed a team from several sectors, how they collaborated much differently to come to non-typical, innovative and more human centric design as a result.  She also encouraged us to talk business, make connections and start making plans, to move forward with female leadership in our industry.⠀
⠀
There were metaphoric moments all evening with the exciting atmosphere of a home opener, with fighter jets flying up top,  fireworks exploding for a first touch-down! 🎇🎆
