Indspire Awards:
Celebrating Indigenous Achievement
The Indspire Awards represents the highest honour the Indigenous community bestows upon its own people. After 29 years, the Indspire Awards have honoured 396 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals who demonstrate outstanding achievement. Their stories are shared in a nationally broadcast celebration that showcases the diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
