We’re told to fit in our whole lives. But it’s the women who stand out who make a difference in our community and our world. Let’s celebrate these women and encourage the next generation to stand up and stand out for justice, inclusivity and hope.

Are you a Woman of Distinction Laureate? We want to hear from you!

The YWCA Women of Distinction Awards recognize those women in our community who, through their own initiative, ability, and effort, have made exemplary achievements in their fields – women who are outstanding role models because of their goals and the way they have achieved these goals.

YWCA Women of Distinction are leaders, mentors, facilitators, communicators, supporters, and listeners. Whether recognized as trailblazers in their fields or young women on the rise, all are pathfinders, bringing forth the key issues facing Canadian women. As a women’s organization, we are committed to increasing public recognition of these incredible women who call Lethbridge home.

Each year, YWCA Lethbridge & District honours women who have made substantial contributions to the social fabric of our community in unique and individual ways.

Every year, YWCA Lethbridge & District hosts the Women of Distinction Awards, an evening dedicated to acknowledging, championing, and celebrating the exceptional women in our community, and how their successes have shaped our city.
