Women Of Excellence 2023


Wow, such a beautiful event! We were moved by the tremendous accomplishments of the 8 women honoured at last night's Women of Excellence Gala. The YMCA Women of Excellence Awards is a unique event hosted every two years by the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. The awards gala recognizes eight extraordinary women whose outstanding contributions positively impact the vitality of the local, regional, or global community.

Thank you to the YMCA for inviting us, we're honoured to have sponsored such a wonderful celebration.
Congratulations again to all 8 women! Each of them has made a tremendous contribution to our community
