Since 1997, we have been the proud hosts of the RBC Spirit of the Capital Youth Awards. The awards are an annual event that celebrates the extraordinary accomplishments of youth who are making our community, and the world a better place. The event itself is a complete celebration of young people.
We introduce the community to an exceptional group of youth who encourage and motivate others, who demonstrate outstanding initiative and creativity, and who have overcome tremendous adversity through their passion for life. We have the honour and privilege of sharing their incredible stories, passion, and dedication with the community, in hopes of inspiring others to step up and make a difference in their own communities.
This year we’re excited to announce that we will be hosting the 26th annual RBC Spirit of the Capital Youth Awards on June 29th, 2023. Guests of all ages are invited and the event is free. Registration will open in May.

Then nominate them today and let us reward them for all that they do! We are looking for 14 young changemakers to honour at the upcoming RBC Spirit of the Capital Youth Awards.
