A celebration of women driving impact and change

The Women of Influence Top 25 Women of Influence Awards is one of Canada’s most respected recognitions for women leaders.

Each year, we honour 25 women who have made a significant impact in their fields and communities and across sectors like business, technology, public service, entrepreneurship, arts, and social impact.

More than just an award, it’s a platform that elevates impactful voices and builds a lasting network of influential women shaping the future for all.

We’re currently evolving the program to expand its reach and impact. We are now accepting applications for 2027.
