The Business & Professional Women (BPW) Hastings & Prince Edward, in partnership with the United Nations Association in Canada – Quinte, proudly announces the highly anticipated Women Who Inspire Gala. This event takes place Thursday, March 6, 2025, at The Grand Belleville, and will honour extraordinary women (all those who identify as a woman) who shape our communities while advocating for equality, leadership, and economic empowerment.

With a legacy spanning over seven decades, BPW Hastings & Prince Edward has been a driving force in championing gender equality and advocating for the advancement of women in business, politics, and society. Building on the resounding success of the Bold and Brilliant Gala, which saw sold-out attendance and overwhelming community support, this year’s event is set to be even more impactful.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women in our community,” said Anne Harvey, BPW HPE representative. “Our past events have welcomed over 200 attendees, including elected officials, professionals, and local leaders. The demand for this gathering continues to grow, proving that conversations around empowerment and inclusivity are more important than ever.”
