YWCA Women of Distinction Awards

The YWCA Hamilton Women of Distinction Awards honours women and girls whose leadership and impact create lasting change in Hamilton and Halton. In celebration of International Women’s Day, we recognize these trailblazers and their achievements — while raising vital funds to empower women, girls, and gender-diverse people.  

Now in its 50th year, Women of Distinction stands as a powerful celebration of community, resilience and collective achievement.
