More than 450 guests gathered at the Park Hyatt Hotel on Sept. 26 for the 2025 Women Empowerment Awards, presented by Rogers in collaboration with lead sponsor Mantella Corporation. For the fourth consecutive year, the celebration sold out — this time breaking records with $32,000 in entrepreneurial grants and $20,000 in scholarships awarded to women and young leaders. Canadian singer Keshia Chanté performed, and Charmaine Williams, Ontario’s associate minister of women’s social and economic opportunity, delivered a keynote that underscored the resilience and strength of women leading change in their communities.
