W
hat a year for
women in business
in B.C.
For our sixth
annual Women of
the Year awards,
we are introducing a new format for
our list of honourees. Instead of one
winner and two runners-up in each
category, we now have three winners in
each category. With so many incredible
applications pouring in from across
B.C. and so many deserving leaders, it
seemed only right to give full honours to
more women in this province who are
stomping through barriers, disrupting
their industries and creating positive
change in their communities.
This year saw the greatest number
of applicants in our six-year award
history—a testament to the talent we
have here in this province.
For 2025, we also expanded the
number of people on our all-female
judging panel. Without the contributions
of these women, powerhouses in their
own industries (see page 59 for more on
that), these awards would simply not
be possible.
Read on to dive into the 21 inspiring
stories of what it takes to be a change
maker in B.C. Welcome to our 2025
BCBusiness Women of the Year.
