Awards
Each year, the MASRC awards Coach and Athlete honours to deserving Aboriginal coaches and athletes in Manitoba. These awards recognize the skills and abilities of our exceptional male and female coaches and athletes from all across our Province.
New in 2012 were the Manitoba Aboriginal Volunteer Awards.
The Award recipients are chosen by following a strict set of guidelines and are selected through the Award/Scholarship Selection Committee in conjunction with Sport Manitoba.
Manitoba's male and female "Aboriginal Athlete of the Year" Award winners are recognized at the "Sport for Life" Gala, the annual awards ceremony held by Sport Manitoba each year in April.
Manitoba's Aboriginal Coaching Award winners are recognized at the Annual "Excellence Awards" Brunch held in April of each year hosted by Coaching Manitoba.
At these events, in front of their peers, family and friends, Manitoba's best officially receive recognition to honour their achievements.
Nominate an athlete, coach or volunteer that you see deserving of such a prestigious honour.
