The 17th anniversary of the Recognizing Immigrant Success in Edmonton (RISE) Awards was held Friday at the Edmonton Expo Centre. The RISE Awards started in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy in New York as a way to celebrate and honour the work that immigrants do in Edmonton, according to the executive director of the Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers (Newcomer Centre).
