International Women's Day 2024: Read up on past Star Women in Grocery Award winners

In recognition of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2024, Canadian Grocer is reflecting on our most recent Star Women in Grocery cohort.

In 2023, we recognized 57 women from across the grocery industry. Nominated by their colleagues and selected by Canadian Grocer’s editorial team, Star Women in Grocery Award winners demonstrate expertise, innovation and leadership.

With IWD’s theme for 2024 of “Inspire Inclusion,” there’s no better time to hear from the women making a real impact and changing the food retail landscape.
