2025 marks 14 years of Seaside Magazine celebrating local women in business with our March Women to Watch feature!
We choose March because International Women’s Day is March 8, a day that we believe is still important and necessary. This year’s theme is “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” It calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all.
We salute the women in our community who have passion and commitment to their careers. You inspire us and all the women who come after you. As you read through the following pages you’ll discover the faces behind many of the businesses that you know and love on the Peninsula. You will probably recognize friends and neighbours, and you may be surprised at just how many businesses are owned by women, or run with a female leadership team. Each of them will have their own story: of how they came to their career; of the compromises and concessions they had to make to achieve it; of the pleasure and satisfaction their work brings.
As a special tie-in to this year’s Women to Watch pages, we are running a new contest – Fabulous 5 Over 50 – where we will shine a light on five special local women who have been nominated by their peers. Watch for this special feature and the announcement of the “Fabulous Five” in our April issue!
