Human Rights Awards 2013

Each year on December 10th to commemorate International Human Rights Day, the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights celebrates the positive contributions of the people, businesses and organizations of Edmonton that make our city a better place. Join us for the 2014 Human Rights Awards on December 10th @ 6:30pm in the Timms Centre today!

Our keynote speaker for this evening is Howard Sapers, Correctional Investigator of Canada and former MLA for Edmonton-Glenora. As Canada's Ombudsperson to our Federal Corrections system, Mr. Sapers will discuss the demographics of those in Canada's penitentaries and some of the prominent issues we are facing, particularly as they relate to Aboriginal Peoples, women and mental health.

Following the keynote and awards presentation,  there will be a reception with appetizers, music from the talented Gavin Bradley as well as a silent auction. This will be a great chance to do some holiday shopping all in support of human rights education for children and youth!

This event is our annual fundraiser for the John Humphrey Centre. You will receive a $30 tax receipt when you purchase your ticket. For more information or additional inquires, please contact info@jhcentre.org.
