Influential Women in Business Awards Presentation

The Business in Vancouver Influential Women in Business Awards represents a premier recognition event celebrating female leadership across British Columbia's diverse business sectors. This year's ceremony will honor six exceptional women, including two prominent figures from the mining industry: Karina Brino of the Mining Association of BC and Marcia Smith of Teck Resources. The event serves as both a celebration of achievement and a platform for advancing discussions about diversity and inclusion in traditionally male-dominated sectors like mining. For the mining and energy sector specifically, this recognition highlights the growing influence of women in senior leadership roles and their contributions to advancing social responsibility, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement practices. The timing on International Women's Day underscores the broader significance of these achievements and provides networking opportunities for current and aspiring female leaders across BC's resource industries.
