Indspire Awards: Celebrating Indigenous Excellence

Watch the 2025 Indspire Awards on YouTube

The Indspire Awards represent the highest honour the Indigenous community bestows upon its own people. After 32 years, the Indspire Awards have honoured over 400 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals who demonstrate outstanding achievement across Turtle Island and beyond. Their stories are shared in a nationally broadcast celebration that showcases the diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
