Nominations for the YWCA Westman Women of Distinction Awards are open until Feb. 23.
The awards, to be held in April, highlight women who uplift others and create lasting changes in their community.
This will be the 41st year celebrating the “immeasurable contributions” of women in areas within southwestern Manitoba, YWCA Westman said a news release Wednesday.
