Outstanding Young Visionary Award
Equity Award (Non-traditional, Overcoming Barriers)
Outstanding Contribution to the Community Award

The organizing committee values the contributions of women of Southeast Saskatchewan and wants to celebrate their accomplishments with the continuation of this prestigious annual event. The Newly launched Southeast Women of Distinction Awards

Inspired by a need to gather together and celebrate women, three Estevan community members will chair the event this year, under a new name and with an updated vision: The Southeast Women of Distinction Awards Luncheon. In 2023, women continue to achieve success in their fields, overcome barriers, and juggle the many responsibilities of life. The vision of the organizing committee is to amplify the accomplishments of women in the 5 award categories, in their workplace and in the community, through leadership, hard work or the perseverance to overcome obstacles to success. Profits from the event will be donated to two streams: programming for children living with disabilities, and breakfast cupboards at elementary schools in the region. These have been the core recipients of fundraising efforts in the past.

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.
