Nominations are open for the 43rd YWCA Toronto
Women of Distinction Awards.


The Women of Distinction are trail blazers, feminist role models and champions. They challenge systemic discrimination, advocate for marginalized women and children, and create opportunities to achieve greatness. These remarkable women, through their unwavering commitment to helping other women and girls, are making real, positive change in their own communities and beyond.

We want to celebrate them!

Every year, YWCA Toronto honours remarkable women who have advanced gender equality across a range of areas such as business, education, social justice, advocacy, arts, health, philanthropy and more. Learn more about the 2023 Award Recipients and other alumnae.
