This qualitative inquiry framed in grounded theory methodology has more fully illuminated the glass ceiling phenomenon in the context of the public sector in Canadian society. Input from 9 female participants culminated in the identification of 3 main categories that had influenced their feelings of experiencing the glass ceiling including career planning, systemic issues and the perception of gender differences. Embedded in and falling from each of the main categories were subcategories containing dimensions and nuances that were interconnected and related to feelings of experiencing the glass ceiling. The thrust of the study was to examine the consequences and implications of the glass ceiling on women working within the municipal public sector in Canadian society. What came forward is illumination that some control of the consequences and implications of the glass ceiling could potentially reside with women despite the external factors that exist in, interact with and have impacts on the phenomenon. The findings illuminate the glass ceiling phenomenon and inform both women and the municipal public sectors in which they are employed. Moving forward this expanded understanding of the phenomenon will continue to become more critical as organizations compete for a shrunken pool of educated, human talent as baby boomers exit the workplace, birth rates decline, immigration rates shrink, and the pace of change and competition accelerates.
