Important Update 🌸
Southeast Women of Distinction Awards will be transitioning to a biennial format.
The Southeast Women of Distinction Awards will now be hosted every other year. This decision reflects the event’s continued growth and the commitment to providing an even stronger, more impactful celebration of the outstanding women who shape communities across Southeast Saskatchewan.
The Women of Distinction Awards will continue to provide $3000 in scholarship funding to Young Women of Distinction in the Southeast, to be allocated at annual high school awards ceremonies in the region. Interested students can find information at their high school.
Moving to a biennial format allows organizers to dedicate additional time to planning, building partnerships, and expanding community involvement. The goal is to elevate the experience for nominees, award recipients, and attendees while continuing to highlight the achievements of local women who lead, inspire, and create change.
The next Southeast Women of Distinction Awards will take place in May of 2027. Throughout the coming months, organizers will focus on strengthening the program, broadening engagement, and preparing new opportunities to recognize the many women who make a meaningful difference in the region.
“The Women of Distinction Awards have become an important platform for celebrating the leadership, resilience, and contributions of women in Southeast Saskatchewan,” said Becky Cassidy, Event Chair. “This new schedule allows us to bring even more depth, recognition, and community connection to the event.”
Community members, partners, and past nominees will be kept informed as planning progresses for the 2027 celebration.
