Emerging Leader Award | National
In 2005, the Public Policy Forum established an annual award for emerging leaders to recognize the contributions of young Canadians who personify leadership in the area of public policy and civic discourse. Recipients of the Emerging Leader Award are in the early stages of their career and demonstrate exceptional initiative and commitment to the principles of public service.
