Toronto native Drake will be honored with the 2011 Allan Slaight Award. The award is given to someone making a difference philanthropically in sports, music, literature, technology, film or performing arts.
Drake will be awarded a $10,000 honorarium during Canada's Walk of Fame Awards, which he says will be presented to Dixon Hall, a community-based service focused on creating opportunities for people in low income neighborhoods around Toronto.
"I am a proud Canadian, and I am grateful to Canada's Walk of Fame and the Slaight Foundation for this award," Drake said via press release.
"At 24 years of age, Drake has already achieved what has taken others a lifetime to do. He is kind, smart, talented, philanthropic and driven. He is an inspiring example to all, and we are proud to recognize him this year as our young Canadian making a positive impact," said Peter Soumalias, Founding Director, Canada's Walk of Fame.
