The Premier’s Awards
The Premier’s Awards is an annual provincial awards program created by the Ontario government to honour graduates of Ontario’s Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology for the important social and economic contribution they make to Ontario. The Awards were launched in 1992 to mark the 25th anniversary of Ontario’s colleges.

Presented annually, the Premier’s Awards acknowledge an outstanding graduate from each of the following six categories: Creative Arts and Design, Community Services, Business, Health Sciences, Technology, and Recent Graduate. Chosen from nominations submitted by Ontario’s 24 colleges, nominees have demonstrated career success related to their college experience and have made a significant contribution to their community.
