WIFT Announces 2021 Crystal Award: Jennifer Holness Wins Creative Excellence Award
WIFT Toronto takes pride in not only providing opportunities for women to rise in their careers, but also in celebrating their accomplishments and moments of triumph.
Jennifer Holness has been awarded the Creative Excellence award this year.
The 34th Annual WIFT Toronto Crystal Awards Luncheon Gala is set to take place on Tuesday March 8, 2022. Normally taking place in December, the 2021 Gala has been pushed to 2022 so that folks can safely celebrate WIFT’s first in person event since the beginning of the pandemic – and what better day to celebrate the accomplishments of our five incredible recipients than on International Women’s Day.
