Board Member for Community Futures Greenstone Ken Pawlachuk has been awarded the Community Futures Manitoba Volunteerism Award for 2022-2023.

The CF Volunteer Award has been established as a means of recognizing at the local and provincial levels the volunteers who are critical to the Community Futures Program.

In presenting the award Greenstone Chair Cal Huntley stated Ken is a familiar volunteer throughout a number of organizations so it’s no surprise that CF Manitoba has chosen him for this distinction. He added Ken is

certainly a passionate ambassador for this community and for the Community Futures program. A release explains upon his retirement from HBM&S Pawlachuk was seeking a new challenge and successfully campaigned for a seat on City Council. Ken was appointed to the Greenstone Board by the City of  Flin Flon in2015. A reliable and committed Board Member Ken brought his passion for the arts and tourism to the Greenstone Board table and was instrumental in advocating for projects like The Uptown Imporium, Snowmobile Tourism Project and The Water & The Wild Place Branding initiative.

Greenstone Manager Becky Cianflone says Ken has been a steady leader through a variety of challenges and transitions for our organization and we are grateful for his contribution.
