Immigrants of Distinction Awards

Time is running out to nominate a remarkable newcomer for the 24th annual Immigrants of Distinction Awards.

The Arts & Culture Award is presented to an immigrant or refugee who has achieved success in an artistic endeavor within the visual, media or performing arts fields. It’s easier than ever to submit a nomination—either submit on someone’s behalf or fill out your own application with a letter of support.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Metis Nations 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit peoples from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
