The Etobicoke-based Somali Youth Association of Toronto (SOYAT) recently honoured 14 young people at their Youth Recognition Awards. Held late last month at Forum Banquet Hall, the annual awards gala recognizes Somali-Canadian youth for their achievements in a variety of categories – ranging from academic and athletic excellence, to community contributions, to “recognizing students who have prevailed over substantial barriers to achieve their goals and in doing so have set an example for the entire community.”
“The Annual Youth Recognition Awards seeks to motivate and inspire youth by profiling and celebrating the accomplishments of individuals who have achieved great heights or overcome numerous obstacles,” SOYAT officials said in a statement.
This year’s winners are as follows:
* Female Athletic Achievement Award – Nafisa Mohamed
* Male Athletic Achievement Award – Mohamed Osman and Liban Hassan
* Senior Male Academic Achievement Award – Mohamud Wehelie and Abdi Aidid
* Junior Male Academic Achievement Award – Hanad Adan

* Successful Career Achievement Award – Abdiaziz Ibrahim and Malyun Afrah
* Most Improved Student Achievement Award – Naima Hassan
* Community Contribution Award – Project R7
