Each year, Avenue’s Top 40 Under 40 presented in association with First Calgary Financial and the University of Calgary highlights those Calgarians who are moving the city forward. These are the high achievers who are literally and figuratively building the Calgary of the future.

The people you will see here are entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers and artists who are each making a difference in their field and in the city. While we celebrate them here for their individual achievements, the majority focus on building up those around them, providing others with opportunities and collaborating within their field and their community. The Top 40 is not just a celebration of young, successful people, but also of the city that makes such success possible.
