"The Canadian Women of Innovation virtual exhibition is an excellent testimonial of the great contributions of Canadian women to engineering, and to our lives in general," said Engineers Canada's Chief Executive Officer Kim Allen, FEC, P.Eng. "We are proud to have worked with the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation to raise Canadians' awareness of these heroes. They are great models for our young girls to look up to."
