Indigenous luminaries will gather in Winnipeg from across the country for the 21st Annual Indspire Awards. The gala will be held March 21 at Winnipeg’s Centennial Concert Hall. Organizers are expecting 2,000 guests. The show will be broadcast nationally by media partners Global Television and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network at a later date. “Each year, we bring together prominent and exciting Indigenous entertainers and presenters to make the evening a worthy tribute to all of the award recipients who deserve this national recognition and celebration,” said Roberta Jamieson, president and CEO of Indspire. Co-Executive Producer with Jamieson for the gala evening is Jennifer Podemski, award-winning actress, director, and producer. Co-host is Tina Keeper, well known to audiences for her work on the hit series North of 60. Co-host is Kyle Nobess, a Winnipeg-based actor and presenter who has co-hosted the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards, and has appeared in hit TV shows, including Mohawk Girls.
