Businesses and individuals were named “Manitoba Champions” by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce on Monday night.
The non-profit chose 10 “Future Champion” award recipients who advance economic growth and community well-being using “impact, innovation and heart,” a media release reads.
Pamela Kolochuk, Peak of the Market’s chief executive; Derek Earl, chair of BizforClimate; and Marcel Kringe, founder of Bushel Plus received awards.
Seven businesses joined them: La Brasserie Nonsuch Brewing Co. and QDoc, a virtual health-care platform, were Winnipeg representatives; Lynn & Liana Designs in Steinbach; Friesens Corporation in Altona; Southport Aerospace Centre near Portage la Prairie; Valley Fiber in Winkler; and Sperling Industries in Sperling also made the list.
The Manitoba Chambers of Commerce chose two recipients for the Lieutenant Governor Awards for Outstanding Contribution to the Community. Payworks was the 2025 business awardee. Doug Stephen, president of Wow Hospitality Concepts, was the individual chosen.
The Manitoba Chambers has partnered with the lieutenant governor on its accolade since at least 2001. The award was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic.
