Canada’s Walk of Fame has just announced that it has awarded the Allan Slaight Award to Toronto-born rapper, Aubrey “Drake” Graham. The Slaight Award is presented to any young person in the arts who’s making a positive impact on music, film, literature, visual or performing arts, sports, innovation or philanthropy.

With the award comes a $10,000 honorarium, which Drake says he’ll be donating to the Dixon Hall – an organization that helps low-income neighborhoods in Toronto. Founding director of Canada’s Walk of Fame, Peter Soumalias, said Drake was selected because he is “kind, smart, talented, philanthropic and driven.”

We always like to remind ourselves that before he was Drake, Aubrey played Jimmy on the first 8 seasons of DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION. His second album, TAKE CARE, is set to be released Oct. 24th of this year!
