SheBuilds is changing the way women show up in construction in New Brunswick

March 29, 2021

If you are a New Brunswick woman dreaming about working on a construction site, you need to meet Donna & Chrissy of SheBuilds.


These sisters are turning the world of carpentry for women on its head. SheBuilds combines traditional education, emotional intelligence & self awareness training, and work experience with an end goal of not only breaking down barriers for female tradespeople but also creating more sustainable housing for women in our communities.


SheBuilds is owned by Donna Ferguson, a Certified Engineering Technologist with more than 30 years experience in the trades. Her sister, Chrissy Guitard, brings nearly 20 years experience in construction and design to the business as the program co-ordinator. Together, they have a vision of seeing more women successfully working in the trades by ensuring a smooth transition from training to on-the-job apprenticeship.
