About the Awards 

The Women of Influence Awards were created to commemorate International Women’s Day in Grande Prairie by celebrating local women’s achievements and promoting equal opportunity for all. 

They recognize the women who through championing gender equality, are breaking barriers in their field, achieving new heights and advocating for greater access for all. It is through their actions we continue Grande Prairie’s growth and foster a strong, vibrant, connected vision for
our community.

The theme for International Women’s Day 2026 is #GiveToGain. When we give, we gain.  The Give To Gain Campaign encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration.

Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring or time, contributing to women’s advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.
