The Northern Aboriginal Community Awards was founded in 2003 to recognize the achievements and contributions made by Aboriginal community members in northern Manitoba. The first awards ceremony was held in Thompson. It was quite successful and it showed all the parties involved that such an event was needed and very much appreciated.
The 2004, 2005
& 2006 awards ceremonies were held in The
Pas so as to better include the
surrounding communities in our northern
region. Both events were, once
again, quite successful & showed that
The Pas was a good choice to host the
event.
As in
previous years, the 2007 awards ceremony was also held
in The Pas, seeing seven northern aboriginal community
achievers receive recognition for
their hard work & dedication.
With the need for a larger venue for the
awards banquet, the Métis Hall was a
great choice. Large enough to
accommodate our ever growing audience &
achievers. With great food, great entertainment
and great company this event was a
huge success!
Again being
held in The Pas, we are looking forward
to the 6th Annual Northern Aboriginal
Festival & Community Awards taking place
October 21, 22 & 23, 2008. As the
festival draws near, keep checking back
for festival updates &
announcements. Any suggestions are
welcome, just email any one of our
committee members.
