The Award

With a mandate to ‘grow global citizens’, the United Nations Association in Canada seeks to recognize role models who have shown generosity, creativity, leadership and solution-seeking and applied their talents to the challenges they have identified in their local communities, in the country and in the world. A Global Citizen need not be a world traveller or professional diplomat. Each of our Global Citizen laureates have, however, pursued knowledge of their community, country and world, understood, and shown through their actions and decisions that their actions and decisions can be taken for short-term benefit – or long-term elevation of all. On the whole, UNA-Canada’s laureates have shown the courage and determination to lift others.

The criteria for the Global Citizens Laureate

UNA-Canada is proud to honour and pay special tribute to unique and ambitious models of leadership. We recognize our Laureates for their positive vision for a better world, starting in Canadian communities, and for their outstanding and generous commitment to children and youth, education, health and wellness and social growth and stability not only for individuals, but for whole communities. The recipient is recognized for their outstanding global citizenship in their community, for Canada and for the world by exemplifying how social responsibility and sterling leadership can be enormously successful in fostering inclusive societies and prosperity.
