This is an opportunity to honour the contributions that women have made to their families, communities, and workplaces across the province. These women are an incredible source of inspiration for the next generation of women and girls who will continue challenging the status quo, advancing gender equality, and making Ontario a better place to live, work, and play for generations to come.
This year’s theme, Through Her Lens: Celebrating the Diversity of Women, recognizes and spotlights the contributions of women from diverse backgrounds, including Indigenous, Francophone, racialized, rural, immigrant, and disabled women, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals.
