In October 2018, the Women Business Owners of Manitoba hosted the 26th annual Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. The H2O Academy was honoured to be one of 100 businesses that were nominated and so grateful to be one of the 20 finalists who won!

The Manitoba Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (WEYA) celebrates women entrepreneurs from Manitoba. The Winnipeg Chapter of Women Business Owners of Manitoba (WBOM) is very proud of its history in hosting these awards. From the first award in September 1992, which was co-hosted with the Federal Business Development Bank (BDC), WBOM has taken pride in celebrating women entrepreneurs. The awards evening is an opportunity to recognize today’s pacesetters, who will stand as inspiring role models to tomorrow’s emerging business leaders. Each year this gala dinner honours the finalists and winners from across the province, whose energies and creativity represent the best of the entrepreneurial spirit.
