This International Women's Day, we're taking a moment to shine the spotlight back on the winners of Canadian Grocer's 2024 Star Women in Grocery Awards.

Taking place March 8, the global movement calls on us all to take decisive steps towards gender equality with the 2025 theme of "Accelerate Action."
