2026 Thrive Youth Anti-Gala:

Celebrating 30 Years of Creativity, Leadership, and Impact

Join us for a celebration unlike any you’ve experienced before!

On Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 6:00PM, Thrive Youth Development Canada invites you to join us at Waterworks Food Hall in Toronto for a milestone evening: the 2026 Youth Leadership Awards and Anti-Gala, celebrating 30 years of Thrive.

For three decades, Thrive has been creating space for young people to discover their voices, build confidence, and develop the leadership skills they need to shape positive futures. This year we're celebrating that legacy and the community that has made it possible.

The Anti-Gala is bold, creative, and anything but ordinary. It's an evening designed to reflect the spirit of Thrive: dynamic, engaging, joyful, and full of heart. Join us for a one-of-a-kind night of celebration, connection, and impact as we honour 30 years of meaningful work with young people and look ahead to what's next.
