SHERRY'S STORY
Contractor, TV Host and DIY Enthusiast
Sherry Holmes, is a contractor, TV host, keynote speaker, brand ambassador, social media influencer, and ambassador for women in the skilled trades. Her dad is celebrity contractor, Mike Holmes, so construction is in her blood. She started behind the scenes on Mike’s breakout series, Holmes on Homes® and became a permanent crew member when she joined her dad and brother on Holmes in New Orleans.
Sherry’s style, personality and talent continue to shine as co-host on, Holmes Family Effect on CTV and Fox and Holmes Family Rescue on HGTV US and CTV Life Channel and available for streaming on CRAVE. Season 2 of Holmes Family Rescue is airing now on HGTV US with more episodes in 2024.
Production has started on a brand new series for the free streaming channel HomefulTV, in collaboration with Blue Ant Media, Holmes on Homes: Building A Legacy, and will air on Cottage Life later in 2024. Plus, watch all the classic Holmes fan favourites on HomefulTV too!
Sherry is also thrilled to be an official Meagan Bebenek Foundation ambassador and spokesperson. The Meagan Bebenek Foundation raises awareness and funds for paediatric brain tumour research, and Sherry will be participating in the 23rd Annual Meagan’s HUG & 5KM WALK on Saturday, May 11th, 2024.
“If you’re thinking about getting into the trades, go for it! If it’s your passion learn as much as you can. It might be harder than you think to make your mark, but I promise you it will be worth it. It just might change your life”
Now a working mom with two little girls, Sherry continues to lend her support and social media presence to youth and young women wanting to get into the trades with Skills Canada, SkillsUSA and World Skills and mentorship programs like Conestoga College’s Jill of All Trades and WIST (Women in Skilled Trades). Sherry advocates for change, equality and diversity in the face of Canada’s skilled trades workforce, demonstrating that women can bring an entirely new dimension to the construction industry that makes it fundamentally stronger from the ground up.

New on Facebook
As a contractor and someone who’s worked on construction job sites for awhile now, I know how intimidating it can feel to step into trades—especially as a woman. That’s why Jill of All Trades are so close to my heart. These events empower young women to explore hands-on careers they might never have considered. From electrical and plumbing to welding and carpentry, the energy is inspiring, supportive, and real. You see that spark in someone’s eye when they hold a power tool for the first time and think, “Hey, I can actually do this.”
It’s not just about trades—it’s about building confidence, independence, and showing the next generation that their possibilities are limitless. I love seeing women lifting each other up, breaking barriers, and redefining what it means to build something. This is the future of skilled trades.
Next Event: May 28, 2025 Conestoga College
