Testimonial 

"Participating in Distinctive Women has been one of the most positive experiences I have had in my business!  From the moment I met Brenda and her staff, they understood our mission and how to promote it. They made the process seamless and fun and it has resulted in many new clients and networking opportunities with like-minded business women.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with this fabulous organization!"

Facing Cancer

 (Toronto, ON)

Cancer has a profound and lifelong impact on women diagnosed with the disease. Almost half of Canadian women who have, or have had, the disease say they're not getting the kinds of support they need while facing the challenges of cancer, and they worry deeply about their ability to reclaim a "normal" life, according to a newly-released report from the Canadian Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CCTFA) Foundation.
