The RBC CWEA recognizes women entrepreneurs from across Canada who make impressive contributions to the local, Canadian or global economy. Nominees share a strong entrepreneurial vision and a relentless passion in pursing their dreams. The award series will recognize business women from three major regions across Canada; east, central and west.

Over 3,000 women entrepreneurs were nominated for the awards, the highest number of nominations since the creation of the program.  Candidates were required to complete a thorough application; a prominent Canadian judging panel of business leaders reviewed all qualifying applications. Following the due diligence process completed by Deloitte’s Private Client Services, the winners will be selected by the judges.

But I think plenty of newsstand buyers are going to want to learn more about the “funniest, frankest sexpot since Marilyn Monroe.”
