EnsembleIQ’s Canadian Grocer today unveils the 2024 Star Women in Grocery award winners. Since 2012, Canadian Grocer’s annual Star Women in Grocery Awards have honoured the achievements, influence, innovation and leadership of women in the Canadian grocery industry.

The Star Women winners include 60 women across three categories: Senior-Level Stars, Shining Stars and Store-Level Stars. This year’s award winners include women leaders from a wide array of companies including Loblaw, Sobeys, Walmart, Unilever, Danone, General Mills and Save-On-Foods. All of the winners work in the Canadian grocery industry and have made a real impact in the food retail landscape.

“Since 2012, Canadian Grocer has been recognizing the outstanding contributions of women across the industry with the Star Women in Grocery Awards. We felt it was important to launch the awards back then and we feel they are just as relevant today,” said Shellee Fitzgerald, Editor-in-Chief, Canadian Grocer.

Vanessa Peters, Publisher, Canadian Grocer, added, “The Star Women in Grocery Awards highlight the important contributions women are making in the grocery industry. We look forward to celebrating the 2024 winners at the Star Women Awards ceremony in September.”

Award winners will be honoured at the Star Women in Grocery Awards event on September 26 at the International Centre in Toronto. To register to attend the program, click here.

The Star Women winners will be featured in the June/July issue of Canadian Grocer and on the Canadian Grocer website, https://canadiangrocer.com.
