The Snow Lake Mining Museum has received a special award from Travel Manitoba.  Their Chairperson Paul Hawman explains they were part of a Travel Manitoba contest and members of the community rallied around them with their support.  He explains their museum was chosen by Travel Manitoba to be one of 32 small to medium sized museums in a contest that ran to showcase those museums in Manitoba and they put the word out to their community and they asked for both past and present Snow Lakers to vote for them and after five rounds of action over two weeks they finally defeated Minnedosa to win the contest.

Hawman says their prize is a promotional video of their museum and community that will be done for them by Travel Manitoba.
