[à propos de la Commission des étudiants...

La Commission des étudiants, organisation soeur du Magazine TG, a été fondé en 1991 par le Magazine TG, les Clubs Optimiste et les jeunes comme organisation à but non-lucratif, pour prendre en charge une conférence jeunesse annuelle. Ensemble, des jeunes provenant de partout au Canada discutent des problèmes auxquels ils font face et écrivent un rapport national sur ces problèmes.]

Do you have a story to tell about your cultural heritage in Canada?

Well, here is your chance to tell it.

The Mathieu Da Costa Awards has been established in partnership with Canadian Heritage to encourage elementary and secondary school students to explore, highlight and celebrate the contributions made by people from Black, Aboriginal and diverse cultural background to Canadian society from very early history to the present.

This new Awards program came about to celebrate the historic decision made by the Parliament of Canada in December 1995 to recognize the important contributions made by Black Canadians to this country and to observe February officially as Black History Month. A National Advisory Committee was created to oversee the Mathieu Da Costa Award, including a TG Magazine/Students Commission youth representative.

We're proud to help provide this opportunity for you to tell a story from your cultural heritage, or the story of another culturally diverse Canadian through a written essay or an artistic work.
