About the Top 25 Women of Influence Awards
Celebrating the women and gender-diverse leaders whose vision, influence, and leadership are shaping industries, advancing communities, and driving meaningful progress across Canada and beyond.
Recognizing leadership that drives change
The Top 25 Women of Influence Awards is one of Canada’s most respected recognitions of women’s leadership and impact. Each year, the program honours self-identified women and gender-diverse leaders who are shaping industries, advancing communities, and driving meaningful progress across business and society.
Recipients are recognized not only for what they have achieved, but for how they lead. Their work reflects a commitment to impact, innovation, and inclusion, and sets a new standard for leadership across sectors and career stages.
Defined by impact, not titles
Each recipient has made a meaningful impact over the past calendar year, whether through building initiatives, influencing critical conversations, or achieving success on a global stage. They exemplify leadership that drives lasting change.
Recognized for leading with purpose, recipients demonstrate initiative, inspiration, influence, and integrity—breaking barriers, shaping important dialogue, and creating impact across their fields and communities.
Elevating stories that shape the future
At Women of Influence, recognition is a catalyst for opportunity. By amplifying these people and their work, the Top 25 Women of Influence Awards help increase visibility, shift narratives, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
The Top 25 represent more than individual success. They reflect a broader movement toward equity, representation, and leadership that will uplift others.
