Today, more and more women are running businesses, even in traditionally male domains. For example, Vyckie Vaillancourt, owner of O’Citrus, is the seventh generation to take over her family farm in Auteuil. The company that she heads is the first in Quebec to cultivate and sell locally grown exotic citrus fruits.
