Established in 1982, this prestigious event has recognized over three decades of changemakers who have led with courage, innovation, and dedication. After a 10-year hiatus, we are thrilled to bring it back to Edmonton.

The Women of Distinction Awards celebrate excellence across various fields, highlighting individuals who have made a significant impact through their leadership, advocacy, and commitment to creating positive change. The event serves as a powerful platform to recognize these achievements while supporting YWCA Edmonton’s essential programs that empower women and families across the region.

The Women of Distinction Awards are more than a celebration; they’re a catalyst for change. Every dollar raised empowers women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals to thrive in safe, equitable communities. Your sponsorship sustains essential YWCA programs like the Welcome Home Project, which helps women and families transition from second-stage shelters into safe, quality homes with wraparound support. This initiative provides more than housing; it offers the tools and resources needed for long-term stability, from financial literacy to mental health support.

Do not miss this opportunity to be part of an afternoon filled with inspiration, celebration, and connection. Your presence helps amplify the achievements of women in our community and contributes to meaningful change. We look forward to celebrating with you.
