2024 Woman of the Year Award

The Montreal Council of Women is proud to announce, as our nominees for the honour of the 2024 Woman of the Year Award, two remarkable women who are making multi-varied contributions to society through their Art. We look forward to introducing them to you at the Woman of the Year luncheon being held on May 26, 2024. More information about the WOTY luncheon will follow.

Beatrice Deer

Beatrice Deer is a multi-talented singer-songwriter, author, editor, narrator, designer and activist. She is an award-winning musician with the Beatrice Deer band and uses Art as a powerful instrument of advocacy contributing to indigenous heritage and culture. Beatrice works to bring attention to suicide prevention, mental health and healing from trauma in indigenous communities.

Nedia El Khouri

Nedia El Khouri is the owner, curator and education director of the Viva Vida Art Gallery, where one of the philosophies is to help the community. Nedia believes that “It takes one voice to start a chorus, one action to start a revelation, one idea to change the world.” Her Gallery variously shows the diversity of Art supporting women, children, the community, health and the environment.
