Alicia Skalin, Co-CEO and Head of Events, Women of Influence Inc., congratulated the winners for their incredible achievements, and for inspiring future generations of female entrepreneurs. “Now more than ever, we are honoured to be able to recognize the incredible achievements and perseverance of this year’s award recipients,” said Skalin. “These women have faced the challenges of 2020 head-on and seized the opportunities to continue to pave the way for women entrepreneurs across Canada; a strong testament to the bright future of Canadian business.”
