The Access, Equity and Human Rights Awards will be paused in 2022. Please continue to check this website for updates or email equityunit@toronto.ca for more information.
The City of Toronto’s Access, Equity and Human Rights (AEHR) Awards recognize people, organizations or programs that have created a more equitable city by advancing reconciliation and justice, addressing discrimination, and working to eliminate barriers to equality. The awards are community-driven, nominations come from Toronto residents and are selected by a panel made up of community members with expertise and knowledge of issues relevant to the award categories.
Based on feedback from community partners, the AEHR Awards will be paused in 2022 in order to review the awards process and categories to ensure that achievements are recognized in a way that is meaningful to communities.
While the City conducts this review, no nominations will be accepted.
For more information, please contact equityunit@toronto.ca.
A virtual awards ceremony was held on December 10, 2021 and can be watched on the City’s YouTube channel.
