CPRS Manitoba celebrates excellence in public communications, and developed the MCOY award in 2008 to honour individuals and organizations that have effectively employed public relations strategies to achieve organizational goals. Every year, MCOY is selected by a panel of senior CPRS Manitoba members and public relations professionals.
Previous MCOY award recipients include Bill Peters of St-Boniface Hospital Research Centre (2013), Scott Brown of True North Sports and Entertainment (2012), Kevin Walters of Manitoba Homecoming (2011), Clare MacKay of The Forks North Portage Partnership (2010) and Heather Plett of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (2009). Inaugural MCOY winners were Gail Asper and Kim Jasper for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (2008).
