Käthe Lemon from Avenue Magazine and Dr. Aaron Phillips from the University of Calgary join Global News Morning Calgary to discuss the magazine’s Top 40 Under 40 list for 2020 – Oct 28, 2020

Calgarians in a wide range of fields are being recognized for their contributions to the city in Avenue Magazine’s 2020 list of the Top 40 Under 40.

The annual list is comprised of Calgarians who excel in their work and are instrumental in shaping and promoting the city in business, the arts, community building and the non-profit sector.

Recipients are nominated by co-workers or friends then reviewed by a panel of judges.

This year, the panel was comprised of people named on Avenue’s Top 40 Under 40 list in the past.

Avenue’s editor-in-chief Käthe Lemon said they had approximately 400 nominations.

“The Top 40 is always a celebration of individual success, but more so, it is a celebration of Calgary and the great things that people are doing in this city,” Lemon said.

The exceptional Calgarians named to this year’s list will be celebrated with an online celebration on Wednesday, Oct. 28.

The event will include messages from some Top 40 alumni and a presentation of the achievements of the class of 2020 by Global Calgary anchor Dallas Flexhaug.
