WHO

We’ll recognize coaches in the following categories, in addition to those who have coached at international events in the past year and those who have coached a minimum of 25 years in the province.

• Vince Leah Award – Fundamentals
• The Konica Minolta Dr. Jack Hunt Award – Learn to Train 
• Janet Arnott Award – Train to Train 
• Peter Williamson Memorial Award – Train to Compete/Train to Win 

This year, coaches are being recognized for their accomplishments throughout their entire careers. From long-standing coaches who’ve coached in their sport for over 20 years, to coaches who’ve coached more than six sports over their career, to coaches who’ve transitioned into builder and community leader roles, our athletes and the entire sport community are fortunate to receive the valuable contributions these and so many more coaches make. Please help us celebrate them! 

Sport Manitoba staff members as well as most of our winners will be available for media interviews on or after Tuesday, April 6, 2021, at Noon.
