	Since 1981, being selected as a recipient of a YWCA Women of Distinction Award has been an honour for women in Toronto. YWCA Toronto's Women of Distinction Awards were created in order to celebrate publicly the achievements of Toronto area women whose contributions to other women and girls, and whose leadership on the community deserved recognition. The first of its kind, the YWCA Women of Distinction Awards inspire others to achieve by bringing to notice the leadership of women in a variety of capacities.
