The Annual Awards of Excellence returns on March 28 for an unforgettable evening honouring the remarkable achievements and contributions of Edmonton’s Black community. As one of the signature events of the Black History Month season, this celebration shines a spotlight on leaders, innovators, artists, entrepreneurs, youth, and community builders whose dedication strengthens the cultural, social, and economic fabric of our city.

Proudly brought to you by James H. Brown & Associates, the Awards of Excellence recognizes individuals who not only excel in their fields but also uplift others through mentorship, advocacy, creativity, and service. Each award category reflects the depth and diversity of Black excellence in Edmonton—from business and education to arts and culture, community service, sports, and beyond.

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring inspiring award presentations, live entertainment, and moments of reflection that highlight the enduring impact of Black leadership in Alberta. More than a ceremony, the Awards of Excellence is a tribute to legacy, a celebration of present-day trailblazers, and a call to continue building a future filled with opportunity and representation.

Join us on March 28 as we celebrate the outstanding individuals who embody the spirit of excellence and continue to elevate Edmonton’s Black community.
