As we close out another incredible season of Soaring and the 2026 Indspire Awards, we’re reflecting on the power of Indigenous leadership, mentorship, and joy. 🧡
Between events, we sat down with Jocelyn Formsma, President & CEO, to talk about what it means to be an Indspire Laureate, and how that experience now guides her work leading Indspire and supporting the next generation of Indigenous youth.
When Indigenous excellence is celebrated, it creates pathways for others to follow. ✨
