Daniel Igali: Margaret Jetelina

Famous Canadians Dept: The 26-year-old child and youth worker and motivational speaker is the youngest person to date to get the award. Some winners this year are famous Canadians, like hip-hop artist K naan, MP Olivia Chow and Olympic wrestling legend Daniel Igali. Others aren t household names but have gained a reputation for achievement and local community involvement, according to The Star. Even though this is our fourth annual awards, there is no shortage of immigrants deserving to be recognized for their contribution to Canada, said Margaret Jetelina, editor of Canadian Immigrant magazine and it s a long way from a city housing project at Jane and Finch to the swank digs at One King West Hotel and Residence where Francis Atta attended a reception Tuesday for winners of the fourth annual Top 25 Canadian Immigrants awards. The awards are presented by Canadian Immigrant magazine and sponsored by the Royal Bank. More than 550 nominations were received and 75 finalists shortlisted by a panel of judges comprised of previous winners. More than 28,000 Canadians then voted online for their top choices.
