Awards History

The Alberta Aboriginal Youth Achievement Awards (AAYAA) is an annual gala celebrating the achievements of Aboriginal youth from across Alberta. The award banquet takes place every March.

The Métis Nation of Alberta Youth Programs Department originally developed this initiative in the fall of 2003. The concept of celebrating the many accomplishments of Aboriginal youth drew interest and support from a wide variety of organizations resulting in these Alberta-wide awards.

The awards are intended to encourage our young people to reach for their dreams and strive for excellence. Each year, family, friends, teachers and co-workers are eligible to nominate outstanding youth in eight different categories.
