Photo Gallery: 2025 Star Women in Grocery Awards

A sold-out crowd of more than 700 attendees came together in Toronto on Sept. 25 for the 2025 Star Women in Grocery Awards breakfast to recognize the remarkable achievements and contributions of women in the Canadian grocery industry.

The morning featured an inspiring keynote from Cara Keating, PepsiCo Canada's chief executive officer as well as a Star Women panel discussion featuring four of this year's winners: Erika DeHaas (Sobeys), Amanda Galante (Loblaw), Marie-Eve Girard (Danone Canada) Hali Burness (Conagra Brands Canada).

Awards, of course, were handed out to the 60 Star Women in Grocery winners for 2025 and the event wrapped up with the presentation of our first-ever Star Women in Grocery Icon Award to Diane J. Brisebois. The former CEO of the Retail Council of Canada was honoured for her extraordinary impact and lasting contributions to retail in Canada.
