Every year, we look forward to honouring our inductees into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame. The 2026 ceremony took place on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at Red River Exhibition Park.

The event is a chance to recognize, learn and draw inspiration from the stories of distinguished and transformative individuals who have advanced the agriculture industry to the benefit of Manitobans and society as a whole.
