Notable Awards @ The Carlu, Toronto, ON - Wed Feb 17th!

Last year we took over the country featuring the best and brightest Millennials and young entrepreneurs in Canada. Thousands of people were nominated, tens of thousands voted, and a select few were lucky enough to be crowned Notable Award winners.

And on February 17 2016, we’re doing it all again right here in Toronto at the exquisite, Carlu.

With more than two-dozen award categories – ranging from fashion to finance, digital to design, beauty to bar – we’ll spend an evening celebrating (and then partying with) the most notable Millennials in Canada. They’ll be food, drinks, dancing, DJs, and a lot of people late for work the next morning. Save a sick day.

Luckily, it’ll all be worth it.

So whether it's for the awards ceremony and after-party or just the after-party, get your ticket today and you won't experience major FOMO the next day.

Join VIPs like such as;

Norm Kelly - Toronto City Councilor
Joe Mimran - Dragons Den Star and Fashion Powerhouse
Chef Suser Lee - Celebrity Chef
Real Estate Mogul - Brad J Lamb

An exclusive performance by the "Godfather of Canadian Hip Hop" Maestro Fresh Wes

But wait - it gets better. This year the Notable Awards will be supporting Notable.ca's new charitable endeavour, the 'Notable Millennial Mental Health Project' in association with the Canadian Mental Health Association Toronto Branch .

Notable and the Canadian Mental Health Association’ Employment Supports Program, Toronto Branch, have partnered together to present a unique series of workshops for millennials who are taking control of their mental health by ensuring they have the tools and guidance to achieve a positive work life balance.

Party for a purpose with us on February 17, as we celebrate the most known and successful millennials while simultaneously paving the way for millennials living with mental health disease to succeed in the workforce through this new charitable project we're seriously taking on.

Location:  The Carlu,444 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON

SERENA RYDER WITH SPECIAL GUEST 54-40

In 2013, Serena Ryder has been breaking new ground on all fronts with her latest release, Harmony (Serenadar Source / Universal Music Canada), achieving certified Gold status in just a few short months of release (November 2012). The lead single, "Stompa" has jumped to double platinum certification - a first for Ryder. Harmony’s success is due in part to this infectious first single as well as the equally anthemic follow-up track, "What I Wouldn’t Do", which is currently racing up the charts and set to match "Stompa’s" amazing sales and radio feats. Ryder is quickly becoming a sensation south of the border, with massive radio airplay and topping the Triple A charts.

Opening for Serena Ryder will be one of Canada’s all-time favourite bands 54-40, celebrating their 30th anniversary and whose mega-hits include “I Go Blind,” “Baby Ran,” and “One Day In Your Life.”
