2026
Manitoba Business Hall of Fame Gala

On April 14, 2026, a sold-out audience attended the Manitoba Business Hall of Fame Gala Dinner at the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre. This 12th annual event, hosted by JA Manitoba, honoured Paul Soubry, retired CEO of NFI; the late Bob Mazer, Founder of the Mazer Group; and Charlie Spiring, CEO and Founder of Wellington Altus. With the generous support of sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers, JA Manitoba raised over $270,000 in support of educating Manitoba youth about financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to all who supported our event, including our Presenting Sponsor, BMO Capital Markets.
