Immigrant Services Calgary (ISC) is delighted to announce that nominations are now open for the Immigrants of Distinction Awards 2020.

The motif for this 24th season is “Unleashing Potential”. This theme is meant to recognize the inspirational immigrants who have come to call Calgary home, as well as their resilience and ability to break through barriers (and help others do the same). If you, or someone you know, matches this theme, take a look at our award categories and consider making a nomination submission.

The deadline to submit your nomination is December 1st, 2019.

The 2020 Immigrants of Distinction Awards will be held on March 13, 2020.
