Now Open! Nominations for the 2012 Urban Leadership Awards

The Urban Leadership Awards (ULA) program is an annual initiative of the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) designed to recognize those who have made significant contributions to improving the quality of life in Canada’s cities and urban regions.

ULA recipients define the very nature of “leadership” and can be organizations, groups or individuals who demonstrate a calling and a vision, tenacity, creativity, energy and drive. These characteristics combined with the ability to engage others, are what distinguish ULA recipients from the mainstream.

The awards program is also a fundraiser for the Institute in support of our internship program, dedicated to providing undergraduate and graduate scholars with practical work experience. This year the awards will take place on June 8th at the Toronto Board of Trade.

If you know an individual or group who deserves to be recognized for their contribution to city-building, download and complete an application for the 2012 awards -- the deadline is March 2nd, 2012. For more information about the categories and criteria, please visit the Awards page here.
