Exactly 1 year ago today we hosted a gala awards ceremony at The Gladstone Hotel for our 2020 winner, Maya Wilson-Sanchez. Constrained from the normal cameraderie with cocktails and canapés, the pandemic has forced us online. This makes it easy for people all across Canada to join us on March 30th as the Jury reveals the 2021 winner(s). Help us to celebrate. #MPfYCC https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/2021-middlebrook-prize-for-youn
