She was Canada's first female plumber

When Linda Cymbalisty married Joe Skomorowski, they set their sights on leaving Winnipeg and setting up their own plumbing shop in a rural town. And that included quitting university and becoming a plumber herself!
As it turned out, that was easier said than done – much, much easier said than done. She was far ahead of her time, and ran into major roadblocks with educators, and even with the plumbers union.
But she was not a quitter. She knew what she wanted, and would not, did not give up. They attained their goal, set up shop in Norquay, Saskatchewan, and are now retired in Yorkton.
