Every year, the Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) Champions are selected by the WLI Toronto and ULI Toronto for their ongoing leadership and skill in real estate development, land use and city-building industry. The WLI Champions reflect the strength of Toronto’s real estate development industry and support a healthier, more prosperous, and equitable region.

Our 2022 Championship Team represents a group of outstanding female-identified leaders and influencers in the real estate & development industry within the Greater Toronto Region.

After being in a pandemic for two years, we are delighted to be back in-person together, honouring celebrations like these. This year, 2022, we are also celebrating the 10th year anniversary of ULI’s Women’s Leadership Initiative. These 24 women were formally congratulated and inducted at this year’s WLI Championship Team 10x10x10 Impact: Celebrating 10 Years of WLI Toronto event held on June 8th at Stackt Market.

Please join us in congratulating the 2022 Championship Team Inductees!
