Residents in Brandon, Manitoba, are preparing to celebrate local leaders at the annual Women of Distinction Awards on April 15, 2026. The event, hosted by YWCA Westman, will take place at the Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium to recognize women who have made a significant impact in the community.
The nomination period for this year’s awards officially ended on February 23, 2026. The program highlights contributions from women working in various fields, including education, the arts, science, business, industry, and community life.
This annual awards show serves as a major fundraiser for the organization, which provides vital support services to families in the region. Money raised from the event helps fund crisis support, housing, and social programs.
Community members can still take part in the celebration by attending the reception and awards ceremony in April. The evening is designed to showcase the impact of local leadership and to inspire others across the Westman area.
