The Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada is a non-profit organization established to encourage the employment of women in the Transportation Industry. Our purpose is to promote personal growth and responsibility whether you’re” In the Office, under the Hood or behind the Wheel”. Despite the name, “Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada “, our membership is not limited to women. We welcome the involvement of anyone who is positive and supportive of women in the Transportation Industry.

We aim to provide a platform and open environment for women across the Transportation Industry to come together, problem solve, share ideas and help to promote our industry to future generations as a viable career option.

We also have a mentorship program on Facebook with over 200 members participating. We are currently looking for like minded individuals and organizations to help/join our mission. We are looking to participate in career fairs, speaking engagements, training seminars etc. All of this would not be possible without the help and support of corporate members . All board members of WTFC volunteer their time .
