Each year the John Humphrey Centre and the Human Rights City Edmonton initiative presents the Human Rights City Human Rights Awards which has the dual task of commemorating December 10th, International Human Rights Day and celebrating Edmonton’s human rights community. The Awards event honors Edmontonians in 5 categories (Individual, Youth, Business, Organization and New/Emerging) for their work in making Edmonton a true human rights city and contributing to their communities. The Awards ceremony also features a keynote speaker and a silent auction and reception to allow people mingle while inspired!
