In honour of Nancy Sherman—a trailblazing leader who championed women in trades and technology—BOLT is proud to present the “Empower Your Future Award” to Laziza Bayirov.

This award celebrates Nancy’s enduring legacy and supports the next generation of women leaders in construction.

Nancy once shared her guiding philosophy:

“If you continue to learn and put up your hand to volunteer, it will position you to follow your heart and be ready for opportunities that appear before you.”

Laziza is beginning her journey at George Brown College, where she’ll be studying Construction Engineering Technology. We’re thrilled to support her as she takes this exciting first step toward a bright future in the industry.

👏 Congratulations, Laziza! Wishing you all the best in your first year and beyond.
