Launched in 2003, the Top 100 Awards celebrate the accomplishments of Canada's top female executive talent as well as their organizations and networks. Sutherland will be presented the Scotiabank Corporate Executives Award during a gala celebration at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on November 24. The award recognizes women who hold senior positions in Canada's publicly-traded and privately owned companies, pension funds and co-operatives. Nominees were evaluated on vision and leadership throughout their careers, as well as their contributions to their organization's corporate performance, management and strategic direction, and community service.

"I am very proud of Evelyn. This is such a great accomplishment and so well deserved," said John Macdonald, President and CEO of Enercare. "She has, and continues to be, a key leader for our brand and has been instrumental in not only driving our results, but has been such a valuable contributor to our corporate vision and culture, helping to shape the future direction of our organization."

The Top 100 Awards serve to recognize talented leaders in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors and to inspire the current and next generation to push the boundaries of what's possible.

"Women are not just leading companies, headlines and new deals, we're doing so in record numbers. In addition to closing the gender gap for participation in post-secondary education and the workforce, we're excelling at the top levels of every sector," said WXN Owner and CEO, Sherri Stevens. "When WXN created Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Awards, part of the purpose was celebration. By recognizing a community of now 939 remarkable women, we get the opportunity to look back and appreciate the hard work and hurdle jumping it took to get here."
