TIES proudly walked away with three awards at the 2024 Alberta Immigrant Impact Awards on Oct. 3, 2024. Three of our exceptional colleagues were honoured at the annual awards celebrating the outstanding contributions of Albertans born abroad.
Award Winners
Suman Khanal, Chief Program Officer, was the recipient of a "Newcomer Champion" award. Suman was praised for being an accomplished executive with over two decades of experience empowering newcomers and marginalized communities in Alberta and developing countries. His leadership emphasizes team building, strategic planning, and advancing organizational sustainability while optimizing processes for newcomer integration.
Katerina Palova, Centre for Immigrant Research Manager, was awarded in the "Inclusive Workplaces" category. Katerina was recognized for advancing diversity and inclusion through her participation in conferences and EDI initiatives. Her commitment to fostering inclusive communities is supported by her work at the University of Manitoba and the University of British Columbia.
Latifa Majidi, BENCH Case Councillor, was a recipient of a "Women's Newcomer Impact" award. First arriving in Canada as refugee from Afghanistan in 2022, Latifa is a co-founder of the Afghan Canadian Women for Global Corporation (ACWGC), which supports Afghan women and families in Calgary. Latifa offers crucial literacy, language training, and employment support, facilitating the resettlement and integration of vulnerable newcomers.
Congratulations to our three winners!
About the Awards
The Alberta Immigrant Impact Awards (formerly the Alberta Newcomer Recognition Awards) celebrate the outstanding contributions of Albertans born abroad.
They honour individuals – youth, women, seniors, entrepreneurs, community builders and others – who have enriched the province through volunteer activities, leadership, innovation, business, or academic and professional achievements.
Nominees must have been born outside of Canada but are now Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and currently living in Alberta. They may have been living in Canada for a long time, or for just a few years.
