The Hydro One First Nations, Métis and Inuit Award
Hydro One is committed to increasing the representation of First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) employees by encouraging and rewarding college and university students to consider careers within the electricity industry. In 2011, Hydro One established the Hydro One FNMI Award — an educational scholarship that supports FNMI students. The academic award will be granted annually to two FNMI students (where possible, one male and one female) studying power industry related disciplines at a recognized Ontario university or community college. The recipients will also be offered a developmental work term at Hydro One.
The William Peyton Hubbard Award
Hydro One sponsors two annual awards for outstanding black students attending an Ontario college or university. The awards are in honour of William Peyton Hubbard, Toronto's first black alderman, controller and acting mayor who was unwavering in his support for the development and public ownership of hydroelectric power in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. In addition to a cash award, the William Peyton Hubbard Memorial Award winners are given an opportunity to obtain a paid position performing developmental work with Hydro One.
Applications for the William Peyton Hubbard Memorial Award are due by December 31 of any given year.
