The True North Awards are a celebration of the people, products, and partnerships that power our home and native land’s hospitality and multi-residential industries from coast to coast.

Why The True North Awards Were Created

  • Celebrate Canadian excellence, especially in a time of shifting trade landscapes
  • Engage adjacent sectors—architecture, procurement, development—and bring them into the NEWH fold
  • Provide a powerful marketing platform for finalists to promote their work and amplify their networks
  • Shine a spotlight on the projects, people, and products that are building the future of hospitality in Canada

Network of Executive Women in Hospitality (NEWH) is the international non-profit community connecting the hospitality industry, providing scholarships, education, leadership development, and recognition of excellence. NEWH Canada, which consists of both the Toronto and Vancouver Chapters, supports scholarships, mentorship, and industry networking from coast to coast. We’re about people first—building connections that fuel the spaces we all love.
