Ontario Celebrates Three Young Women in the Fight Against Racism

On the first official Lincoln Alexander Day in Ontario, the province is honouring three young female leaders with a Lincoln M. Alexander Award.
Each year, the Lincoln M. Alexander Awards are presented to three young people between the ages of 16 and 25, who have demonstrated exemplary leadership in promoting positive social change.

This year's recipients are:

*       Saba Oji of Waterloo, for promoting the inclusion of English as a Second Language (ESL) students into school activities;
*       Talisha Ramsaroop of Toronto, for her work as a mentor for students battling racial stereotypes in Toronto's urban core;
*       Nathalie Restoule of the Dokis First Nation, for her activism in addressing issues of racism among First Nations youth.

Empowering the province's youth to take on leadership roles to help eliminate racial discrimination supports the government's efforts to work together as One Ontario to build a successful, vital province where everyone has the opportunity to connect, contribute and achieve their goals.
