Reynolds took to the stage to accept this year’s Humanitarian Award, accompanied by Everett Ho and Lisa Charendoff of SickKids Foundation. “The prestigious honour is presented to an individual in recognition of an extraordinary humanitarian contribution or act of compassion,” notes the Canadian Academy of the award.
Reynolds later took to social media to share his gratitude for the award, along with some photos from the evening, in addition to a few taken during his visit to Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children earlier in the day.
“Thank you @thecdnacademy for this incredible honour tonight,” wrote Reynolds in an Instagram post. “The day started with a visit to @sickkidsvs with the always magical, @lcharendoff — and finished in a fancy tux, surrounded by some of the smartest, most innovative Canadian artists — all under one roof. I was gobsmacked and emotional as all hell.”
