In its second year, the Manitoba Heroes selection committee proudly con-gratulates five local winners chosen as the 2014 Manitoba Heroes from amongst an incredible list of deserving nominees. This event celebrates the heartwarming stories of an impressive group of nominees with a gala dinner in their honour on Saturday, September 27th, at the Fairmont Hotel, Winnipeg.
Honouring these five exceptional Manitobans, the Gala Dinner promises to be a memorable evening, including special guest presenters, both silent and live auctions, local artists, musicians, and community leaders. Join us for this unforgettable celebration!
