Women@Plaza

Women@Plaza (W@P) is dedicated to supporting and empowering women and women-identifying people in our organization to reach their full potential in the workplace. We aim to do this through:

– Raising awareness of issues women face in the workplace

– Supporting professional development

– Recognizing the efforts, contributions and distinct experiences of women in the workplace and celebrating their achievements.

Through Women@Plaza’s programming and events, women have opportunities to connect, support one another and contribute to causes and organizations important to them and whose values align with Women@Plaza’s. This includes team-building opportunities, recognition awards, personal and professional development, resources that address issues impacting women in the workplace and supporting community organizations.

The Women@Plaza Recognition Award is granted annually to recognize the achievements of exceptional Plaza employees and to show Plaza’s appreciation for them going the extra mile, both inside and outside of the workplace.

The successful recipient of the Women@Plaza Recognition Award will:

– be a Plaza employee who identifies as a woman (or a man who has made a significant contribution to the advancement of employees who identify as women at Plaza);

– have made a meaningful contribution in one or more of the following areas: their role within Plaza, their families or communities, and/or their personal leadership or growth; and

– demonstrate actions or achievements that align with Women@Plaza’s mission.

Our last Recognition Award was presented on International Women’s Day, March 12, 2025.

To support employees in reaching their full potential, Women@Plaza offers a mentorship program to foster both personal and professional development. The program encourages continuous learning, supports inclusion, and provides opportunities for mentors and mentees to build meaningful connections across the organization. It also helps bring together Plaza team members from across our geographic footprint who may not otherwise work closely with one another, strengthening collaboration and community.

Women@Plaza offers a variety of personal and professional development opportunities designed to support growth, long‑term success, and overall well‑being. Through learning sessions, workplace challenges and lifestyle‑focused programming, employees gain access to tools and resources designed to help them thrive both in their careers and in their everyday lives.

Our next Women@Plaza event, in celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, will feature a webinar with keynote speaker Dr. Amy D’Prix, MSW, PhD, CPCA, titled Women, Wealth, and Wisdom.

Women@Plaza has developed a resource and communications plan to share relevant, timely resources and information to support women and address issues affecting women in the workplace.

The communities Plaza serves are an integral part of our identity. Through Women@Plaza and other initiatives, Plaza supports several causes and organizations in the provinces where we operate that advance community and social well-being, including those described below.
