Ava Kobrinsky Awarded the 2021 Order Of Manitoba

Home Routes / Chemin Chez Nous congratulates founder Ava Kobrinsky on being awarded the 2021 Order Of Manitoba. One of the founding directors of the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Kobrinsky is a force in the cultivation, nurturing and flourishing of contemporary folk music in Manitoba and Canada. She was the general manager of the West End Cultural Centre and Home Routes/Chemin Chez Nous, and has also played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Prairie Theatre Exchange, the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre and the Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers.

The Order of Manitoba was established in 1999 to honour Manitobans who have demonstrated excellence and achievement, thereby enriching the social, cultural or economic well-being of the province and its residents.

“The exceptional women and men to be invested into the Order of Manitoba serve to inspire us all and reinforce that each of us has the power to make a difference,” said Lt.-Gov. Janice C. Filmon, chancellor of the order, who will preside over the ceremony. “These individuals truly exemplify resiliency, adaptability and leadership, and they are almost worthy of acknowledgement and acclaim. We are proud to celebrate the passion and leadership of these great Manitobans.”
