Kane, no longer a regular on the LPGA Tour, won the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award as Canada's top female athlete in 2000 and was named to the Order of Canada in 2006.

Kane also has been inducted into the Canada Sports Hall of Fame.

The CP Women's Open will be held for the first time since 2019 from Aug. 25-28 at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club.
