Leo Ledohowski will join three others in the prestigious Manitoba Business Hall of Fame next year. Mark Evans and Michael Pyle, both executives, are also set to be inducted. Greg Leipsic, president of JA Manitoba, oversees the hall of fame and selects the new honourees annually. The ceremony for the incoming businessmen will take place on April 6 at the Victoria Inn Hotel.
Mark Evans created NaviPlan, a financial planning software adopted by major financial institutions worldwide. He later co-founded Conquest Planning, which has expanded internationally and raised over $150 million in six years. Despite battling cancer for 18 years, Evans remains committed to his work and has been successful with immunotherapy treatments.
Michael Pyle, CEO of Exchange Income Corporation, has seen his company's value soar from $8 million to $10 billion, and the business now operates in aerospace, aviation, and manufacturing sectors. Pyle attributes his success to the growth of his company and its charitable contributions. Leo Ledohowski transformed Canad Inns from a single establishment to Manitoba's largest hotel chain, with properties in Winnipeg, Portage la Prairie, Brandon, and Grand Forks.
The City of Winnipeg recently named a street after him on Jefferson Avenue, between McPhillips and Watson streets.
