Milestones and Mentorship: A Day of Appreciation

Award Awareness Week: Thank you Thursday

Today, on Thank You Thursday, we pause to recognize the incredible people who make the Award possible across Canada. From Award Leaders and mentors to supporters, partners, and donors—your support is the heartbeat of our mission. 

You are the ones who guide, encourage, and uplift young people as they challenge themselves, grow, and discover their potential. Whether you’re helping a participant set goals, organizing community service opportunities, or simply cheering them on—you are shaping futures. 

Launching Today: Recognition of Award Leader Milestones webpage 

We’re proud to announce the launch of our Recognition of Award Leader Milestones webpage, a new space dedicated to honouring the leaders and mentors who go above and beyond to deliver the Award and their participants. This page will be updated annually to celebrate those who’ve made a lasting impact through their time, energy, and belief in youth potential. 

Take a moment to explore the page, share it with your networks, and help us spotlight the people who make the Award Canada Way possible. 

How You Can Get Involved Today 

  • Who has mentored you in your Award? Let them know the impact they’ve made.
