Toronto in 2024 had all the hallmarks of a city in transition—and it wasn’t just the endless construction projects. This year’s Most Influential inductees made waves, large and small, across the GTA and beyond. They tackled the housing crisis, disrupted the health care sector and won high-profile court cases. The biggest players expanded their dominance in business, politics, pop culture chefdom, romance writing and more. But the year’s greatest development—the one that captured our imaginations and aspirations more than any other—was the story of women in pro sports. For blazing that trail (and giving this hockey-mad city a team to rally behind that isn’t the Leafs), the stars of the Toronto Sceptres earn the No. 1 spot. See the full list here.
