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.
