Abbey Shepherd • March 9, 2026

As we celebrate International Women's Day, we recognize the resilience, determination, and achievements of barrier breaking women in the SCAA.

International Women’s Day 2026

In honour of International Women’s Day, the SCAA wanted to highlight a few of our members to share the hard work they do in our industry. We are so proud to have incredible people like the women below make up our companies, and want to continue celebrating them. Their intelligence and determination are evident in their contributions not only to the siding industry, but in our community as a whole. Thank you Bhelle and Brianna for sharing your stories!

Bhelle Sunar- ABC Supply Co.:

How long have you been at your workplace/ in the industry? Since 2013 in the industry. Workplace (ABC) since Sept 2024.
What drew you to the industry? I used to work in a big siding company back home. I always love challenging projects and dealing with customers (builder or contractors).
What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them? Rude client. Always kill them with kindness!
Do you have any advice for women looking to join the industry? Be yourself. Always support and help each other no matter what. Girl power!!

Brianna Greene- Westrend Exteriors:

How long have you been at your workplace/ in the industry? I’ve been in the industry for about 4 years now.
What drew you to the industry? I was looking for a change of pace and a challenge! I come from a family that has strong women working within the construction industry already so it seemed like a natural and exciting progression in my life.
What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them? Coming into the industry from a vastly different career background, the biggest challenge for me was learning to trust myself and my instincts when making decisions- both on the job and in my career more broadly. I was able to overcome that by leaning into the support network of other women in the industry. It’s hard to doubt yourself and your abilities when you’re part of such an incredible group, all cheering each other on from their own corners of incredible success.
Do you have any advice for women looking to join the industry? Get in here! This is an ever-evolving industry that thrives on the passion and creative thinking of people from a multitude of minds and backgrounds. Once you’re in, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the toughest and most supportive women you could meet- many of whom are more than happy to share their insight and experience.
