About CAWIC

CAWIC, a not-for-profit Canadian organization was incorporated on October 13, 2005. Its membership includes women employed in construction and related fields in Canada. Our members are dedicated to the success of women in the construction industry.

CAWIC’s history began in 1982 as the Toronto Chapter of NAWIC the U.S. based National Association of Women in Construction. In October 2005, CAWIC separated from NAWIC to launch a Canadian independent association for its membership but continues to maintain its affiliation with NAWIC which operates from its head office in Texas.
