A day of history, skill, and inspiration on Parliament Hill.
Rose of Tralee Katelyn, Ottawa Rose Aidan and Western Canada Rose Ciara had the privilege of touring the Centre Block Rehabilitation Project alongside apprentice ironworker Colleen Shirley, gaining a firsthand look at the incredible craftsmanship involved in restoring one of Canada’s most iconic buildings.
Hosted by Ottawa MP Mona Fortier, the group entered the Chamber of the House of Commons followed by a quick stop by the Famous Five Monument and lunch with Senator Iris Petten.
These tours perfectly complement our Women in Trades initiative, celebrating skilled women like Colleen who are shaping the future while honoring our heritage—drawing inspiration from trailblazing Canadian leaders, like MP Fortier and Senator Petten, who continue to champion progress and opportunity for women across the country.

What an absolute rollercoaster the last two weeks have been.. but I was fortunate enough to meet these two gems along the way. @kathrynthomasofficial thank you for taking the time to chat with me about being a mama and all the amazing things that come along with it ❤️ And to the man himself @daithiose , we had some craic lad. Thank you for all the laughs, the serious chats, for helping me through those tough moments and for being the best interviewer a girl could’ve asked for on television ❤️ #rte #roseoftralee #daithiose #kathrynthomas #rose #ireland #kerry #canada #calgary #mama
