As the partner in my marriage who fixes the running toilets, I’m happy to say that Canada’s Handyman Challenge winner is the well deserving Maria! The challenge was a running series this year, starting with auditions from around Canada and elimination rounds involving completing various handy tasks (building a tile table for Subway restaurants, pop quizzes about tools, deck building). Maria, a construction worker, remained a committed and humble individual throughout the show. It can’t be easy to be a women in the construction industry. I’m happy that she’s won, not just because you can be a girl and kick ass with a circular saw at the same time, but because she seemed like a really sweet person who could use the win.
