About the Awards
Many years ago, Skills for Change recognized the need to raise
public awareness about the contributions made by immigrants and refugees
to Canadian communities. As a result, we created the New Pioneers Awards
as a vehicle to positively and publicly recognize newcomers and their
achievements.
Each year, the New Pioneers Awards (NPA) showcases the outstanding
contributions made by immigrants and refugees in six main areas of
accomplishment in:
Arts
Community Service
Entrepreneurship
Science and Technology
Youth
Skills for Change Graduate
Today, the New Pioneers Awards has become GTA’s landmark Celebration of
Diversity.
The NPA is a community driven event; members of the community nominate
worthy candidates, community volunteers conduct the selection process,
and both corporations and the GTA community gather at the awards gala
event to celebrate with NPA award recipients.
Over the past fifteen years, the New Pioneers Awards has received strong
support from all three levels of government, the corporate sector, the
community, and from individual supporters of Skills for Change. |
