The Ontario Premier's Award

The Premier's Award honours the important social and economic contribution college graduates make to Ontario and throughout the world. The Awards, launched in 1992 to mark the 25th anniversary of Ontario's colleges, are administered by the Ontario Council of Regents.

 

Presented annually in six categories, the recipients are chosen from nominations submitted by Ontario's 25 colleges. Nominees must demonstrate outstanding career success related to their college experience and have made a significant contribution to their community.

 

Every year, up to six noteworthy Seneca alumni are nominated for this prestigious award. For more information on the Premier's Awards, visit the Ontario Council of Regent's at www.thecouncil.on.ca. Nominations must be made through Seneca College.
