This award recognizes excellence in leadership, commitment, and creativity in advancing equality in the Canadian finance industry.
The WCM Champions of Change will receive their awards at WCM's annual Gala, which brings together the most senior leaders in finance to celebrate progress towards equity, diversity, and inclusion. The Covid-19 pandemic revealed persistent gender inequities, and the leaders recognized this year are finding new and innovative ways to build and support diverse and equitable workplaces. This year’s Champions of Change Gala is about renewing those commitments to change made during the pandemic, sustaining the momentum required for change, and refreshing our resolve to challenge the status quo.
The 2022 Gala will be held at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto on June 8th at 6 pm EDT and features keynote speaker Douglas Turnbull, Vice Chairman, and Country Head, Canada, DBRS Morningstar, and Ontario's first Poet Laureate, Randell Adjei.
Congratulations to WCM's 2022 Champions of Change:

Creating more flexible and inclusive workplaces remains critical as we manage pandemic risks,” said Lara Zink, President and CEO of WCM. “Our sponsors continue to apply the lessons learned and are committed to increasing the representation of women-identifying professionals in finance. We are pleased that WCM’s Champions of Change are supporting WCM’s mission while leading efforts to increase equity, diversity, and inclusion in their organizations.”
