Three Manitobans are being celebrated for their impact on Canadian music.
On Monday, the Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA) announced Winnipeg-born Juno winner Chantal Kreviazuk as this year’s inductee to the Western Canadian Music Hall of Fame, which recognizes the achievements of artists and bands.
Cross Lake singer-songwriter Ernest Monias — also known as “Elvis of the North” — has received the WCMA’s Heritage Award, given to an individual who has made significant industry contributions throughout a career.

And local promoter John Scoles, owner of the Times Change(d) High and Lonesome Club, has earned the Kevin Walters Industry Builder Award for his mentorship and leadership.
The specialty award recipients will be presented with their hardware at a brunch event on Saturday in conjunction with BreakOut West, which kicks off in Winnipeg on Wednesday. Winners of WCMA artist and industry awards will be announced later this week.
