Congratulations to our Immigrants of Distinction Awards (IDA) recipients on your well-deserved wins and all our IDA finalists for your remarkable achievements and contributions to our communities!

Our 25th annual IDA gala was held on Thursday night, November 3, 2022, at the Arts Commons Jack Singer Concert Hall. We honoured the achievements of extraordinary immigrants and refugees who are making a significant positive impact on our city and Canada at large.

This year's awards were given out in ten categories to recognize the talent, excellence, and positive impact of immigrants and refugees across arts and culture, civics, academics, sports, and industry.

The 25th IDA gala was an astounding success. The extraordinary finalists, supportive audience, government dignitaries, and community leaders came together to create an unforgettable experience in which we enjoyed multicultural performances, networking, and celebration.

We hope you had a fantastic time and were inspired by the finalists, award recipients, and the many legacies of excellence that were celebrated. Thank you to all the attendees, sponsors, media partners, and fellow agencies for your continued support.

We look forward to your attendance next year!
