WRDC promotes the involvement of women in natural resource industries at the community level. Through the organization's two Community Development Co-ordinators in Burin and Corner Brook, WRDC reaches out to women, community organizations and industry and advocates the idea that even though resource-based industries are presently dominated by men, women CAN participate on an equal footing.

WRDC community development initiatives also include identification of employment opportunities, and the gathering of data, and establishment of a mentor system.

Projects

Projects of WRDC relate to an identified need to foster awareness of opportunities for women in the natural resource sectors and encourage an environment where women see such positions as viable career options
