2025 Manitoba Champions Awards
The spirit of provincial pride and community leadership was alive and well on Manitoba Day, as business leaders, chamber members and government representatives gathered for the inaugural Manitoba Champions Awards – a celebration of individuals and organizations that are not only driving economic development but also igniting social impact in communities across the province.
Ten up-and-coming champions were recognized as Future Champions of Manitoba for their innovative and inspiring efforts, the bright future of Manitoba's business community:
Individuals:
- Pamela Kolochuk – CEO, Peak of the Market (Winnipeg)
- Derek Earl – Chair, Biz for Climate (Winnipeg)
- Marcel Kringe – Founder & CEO, Bushel Plus (Brandon)
Businesses:
- QDoc Inc. (Winnipeg)
- Lynn & Liana Designs (Steinbach)
- Friesens Corporation (Altona)
- Southport Aerospace Centre (Portage la Prairie)
- Valley Fiber Ltd. (Winkler)
- La Brasserie Nonsuch Brewing Co. (Winnipeg)
- Sperling Industries (Sperling)
The Manitoba Champions Awards replaced the MCC's Manitoba Business Awards, after a five-year hiatus prompted by the pandemic. These new awards represent a renewed commitment to spotlighting homegrown excellence and inspiring the next generation of changemakers.
From boundary-pushing entrepreneurs to community champions, the Manitoba Champions Awards brought us together to celebrate the people and businesses that make our province proud – and we couldn't have asked for a better way to mark Manitoba Day.
