This prestigious honour recognizes individuals, businesses, or organizations in our community who have actively promoted the equality of all cultures, and who have made an outstanding contribution to building a community that is multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-faith. In 2008, the Champion Award was added to the program, celebrating significant contributions made to our community by first-generation Canadians. To honour the 45th year of the Multicultural Council in 2018, the Inspire Award was introduced as a way to recognize a newcomer for their perseverance, optimism, and positive example provided to our community.

Each spring, the MCC Awards Gala takes place and features a different exciting ethno-cultural theme, drawing a crowd of over 600 community partners, supporters, and representatives to recognize award recipients. Proceeds from the event benefit the programs and services of the Multicultural Council, and serve to assist in our mission of creating a welcoming community for all.
