Paul Yuzyk Award

The Paul Yuzyk Award for Multiculturalism recognizes exceptional contributions to multiculturalism and integration of newcomers to Canada. After six years of honouring remarkable Canadians, the award is expanding to recognize a greater number of deserving individuals and groups.

A new Youth category will recognize outstanding young Canadians (aged 15 to 24) who are emerging leaders in their school or community and who promote a welcoming and inclusive multicultural society in Canada.

Nominations will be accepted until 31 March 2015.
