May 17, 2022 — The Indspire Awards are among the highest honour bestowed by the Indigenous community in Canada. Over the past 29 years the Indspire Awards have honoured 396 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals who demonstrate outstanding achievement. The 2022 Indspire Awards recipients were announced last week during a special in-person celebration of Indigenous achievement.

“At Indspire, we’ve been eagerly anticipating our biggest celebration in years,” said Indspire president and CEO Mike DeGagné. “This is an especially significant moment as we celebrate in person. We are proud to honour our 2022 Laureates and their outstanding achievements, recognizing the important place they hold in their communities and in wider Indigenous circles across Turtle Island.”
