The Pepper Pod’s ELLE-vation™ Awards recognize the achievements of women from the Canadian veteran, military, and RCMP communities who have supported, empowered, and lifted women around them. We celebrate women from diverse backgrounds, ranks, and stages of careers who go out of their way to champion other women.

Do you know a woman who has served or is serving in the Canadian Armed Forces or the RCMP who has distinguished herself through acts of support for other women?

ELLE-vation™ woman

An ELLE-vation™ woman is an extraordinary woman who celebrates sisters, empowers souls and raises the spirits of other amazing women.

She is a leader, mentor, ally, coach, game-changer, role model and everyday hero who elevates others with compassion, confidence and commitment.

She uses her influence to inspire change.
She is admired and respected for her authenticity, kindness and humility.
She has grit and fights for her beliefs, regardless of the barriers.
She rolls up her sleeves for what she is passionate about.
She fearlessly steps outside of her comfort zone to pave the way for other women to follow and succeed.

An ELLE-vation™ woman promotes, supports and shines light on other women to ensure they get noticed for their own good work.

Veteran and Pepper Pod founder Sandra Perron presented the ELLE-vation™ Awards to last year’s recipients.
