The Manitoba Home Builders’ Association held its annual Spring Parade of Homes gala at the Hotel Fort Garry on Friday.

More than 375 people attended the gala to celebrate and recognize the winning entries in this year’s Spring Parade of Homes.

There were 31 separate categories in the Spring Parade of Homes, with gold, silver or bronze awards given out to the homes deemed the best in each category by our volunteer judges.

The parade award winners were determined by a mix of judging panels reviewing electronic submissions from each entrant and judging panels visiting each of the parade homes. Once again, the judging was extremely close in all categories.

This is not surprising, when you consider our judges are faced with choosing a winner from an incredible selection of the best-designed, best-built and best-displayed new homes in Canada.

The evening was also a chance for the MHBA to celebrate the sales agents who do a tremendous job promoting our builders.

The MHBA’s annual sales awards were handed out at the gala, recognizing the top sales agents in the province.

You can find a full listing of the Parade of Homes Award winners and the sales agent award winners in Friday’s Free Press. Congratulations to all the award winners!

One of the key messages of the evening was association membership. The strength of the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association comes from the support and engagement of its members. MHBA members are the leaders and community builders in our province’s residential construction sector. Those in attendance were encouraged to hire and buy from other MHBA members, and to promote membership to those displaying excellence in the industry.

To view all the entries, go to the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association website at homebuilders.mb.ca. The Parade of Homes page provides you with a map and listing of all of the parade show homes. You can also find a digital copy of the Spring Parade of Homes magazine.

Follow the MHBA on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to see each of the gold, silver and bronze award-winning homes profiled over the next month.

Remember, the show homes featured in the parade and honoured at the gala are open for viewing, even though the Parade of Homes has concluded. Feel free to contact our award winners and see these amazing show homes.
