Premier's Awards
Presented annually to six recipients, the Premier’s Awards for Ontario College Graduates celebrate the outstanding contributions made by graduates and their colleges towards the success and sustainability of Ontario. Nominees are submitted from each of Ontario’s 24 colleges in six categories: Business, Creative Arts and Design, Community Services, Health Sciences, Technology and a Recent Graduate category.
Recipients are college graduates who have surpassed the expectations of their peers and colleagues by demonstrating exceptional commitment to their careers and communities. Each recipient receives a bronze medal designed by renowned sculptor Dora de Pédry-Hunt and is privileged to direct a $5,000 bursary to his or her graduating college.
This year, the Awards take place at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto, Ontario on February 23, 2009, at the Colleges Ontario banquet. Together with College’s Ontario, the Premier’s Awards celebrate the change agenda. By introducing exciting new initiatives and welcoming aboard many green companies, the Awards will further reiterate Ontario colleges’ commitment to teaching practical curriculum in sustainable design and business.
