Celebrating 44 years of extraordinary women in Saskatoon
Since 1982, the YWCA Women of Distinction Awards presented by Graham, have been more than a celebration, it’s been a powerful reflection of the strength, leadership, and impact of women in our community.
Women of Distinction Awards shine a spotlight on women from all walks of life. From leaders, innovators, mentors, and changemakers, whose contributions have shaped our community in meaningful and lasting ways. By sharing their stories, the awards not only recognize excellence but also inspire the next generation to lead, give back, and create change.
Beyond the stage, the significance of WOD runs deeper. The event fuels the work of YWCA Saskatoon, supporting essential programs that provide safety, support, and opportunity for women and their families. It’s a moment where recognition meets purpose, where celebrating achievements directly contributes to building a stronger, more inclusive community.
In many ways, WOD is about legacy, honouring those who lead today while inspiring those who will shape tomorrow.
This year, the Women of Distinction Awards, presented by Graham, will celebrate the remarkable women of Saskatoon on May 14, 2026 at TCU Place.
Join us for an evening of connection, celebration, and unforgettable moments, and be part of a legacy.
