Identify 'N Impact Awards

The City of Toronto through the Toronto Youth Cabinet (TYC) will be holding our 25th Anniversary Gala and Identify 'N Impact Awards this year where we will honour the contributions that Black, Indigenous and equity deserving youth make to Toronto.

Our goal is to create a legacy within the city that celebrates Black and Indigenous youth and organizations dedicated to their empowerment and advancement, by encouraging collaboration where youth across the City have the opportunity to network across and build together in a safe space. This event will provide youth and their peers, community members and mentors the opportunity to commemorate their accomplishments in all facets of life. 

 

Let's celebrate the contributions youth play as advocates, visionaries, and agents of social change for communities throughout the City of Toronto!

 

Youth between the ages of 13 to 27, who either live, work or go to school in the City of Toronto are eligible to receive an award.
