The Canadian Tamil Youth Alliance (CTYA) successfully held it’s first ever Top Talents Awards Gala this past Friday, June 18, 2010.
The Top Talents Awards Gala took place at Claireport Place Banquet and Convention Centre, located at 65 Claireport Crescent, Etobicoke, ON.
CTYA is a non-profit organization and is the largest combination of youth associations and groups nationwide with Tamil heritage, culture and language backgrounds. Through the alliance, CTYA strives to empower the youth to become outstanding leaders and citizens in our society. It was with this mission that we embarked on the creation of the Top Talents Award Gala.
The Awards Gala was a night dedicated to recognizing the achievements of outstanding Tamil youth in the categories of Arts, Academics, Athletics, and Achievements. Awards presented included Soccer, Basketball, Track and Field, Classical Music, Classical Dance, Urban Music, Visual Arts, Tamil Language, Youth Volunteer, Outstanding Leadership, and Youth Entrepreneur. CTYA presented each winner with a $500 bursary in hopes of motivating the youth in continuing his or her success.
Many members of the Tamil and non-Tamil community were in attendance at the event. It was an unforgettable night packed with captivating performance
s from talented Tamil youth dancers, singers, pianists and spoken word poets.
CTYA hopes to host many more successful events such as this, and looks forward to yet another Top Talents Awards Gala next year, in 2011.
We would like to thank all our sponsors, supporters and attendees for their belief, encouragement and support to the Tamil youth and CTYA.
Sincerely,
Canadian Tamil Youth Alliance
