The annual Courage to Come Back Awards took place on May 7/2025, at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, BC. A night full of inspiration and speeches from this year's recipients. The Courage to Come Back Awards are Canada's Largest sit-down gala dinner, with about 1500 people in attendance. This year, the event raised over 9 million dollars for the Coast Mental Health Society. The annual event is one of the ONLY ways to get into the Vancouver Convention Centre as it is closed to the public unless you are attending an event there, in addition, it is the ONLY time you will see the Vancouver Olympic Torch light up blue!
