Identifying leaders

Forces AVENIR is a non-profit organization that aims to recognize, honour and promote the activities of young people engaged in their community. As in previous years, a total of 33 individuals and projects will be selected and winners will receive an AVENIR trophy and share grants totalling $114,000.

Televised vignettes about each award recipient will also be broadcast on the RDI (Réseau de l’information) channel.

The program targets students who have demonstrated ingenuity, determination and leadership, promoted a cause involving peers, or participated in a project that had a significant impact on society.

Students at Concordia who wish to compete are invited to submit their applications (available at the Forces AVENIR website below) to the Dean of Students Office, H-637, Henry F. Hall Building (1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. W.), 514-848-2424, ext. 7960, no later than March 31, 2011.
