Celebrate Canada's Urban Leaders!

Join the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) on November 1st to celebrate those making a profound impact on Canada's urban regions. Running for the past 14 years, the Urban Leadership Awards Program recognizes individuals and organizations leading the transformational change needed for a sustainable and prosperous future.

This year's event will be a cocktail-style awards reception in The Spoke Club's Portland Room in downtown Toronto. Expect food, music and a chance to mingle with people engaged in city-building and healthy urban development. Guests typically include planners, policy makers, lawyers, engineers, architects, non-profit and social service leaders, community organizers, developers and academics dedicated to developing communities that generate positive human, ecological and economic impacts.
