Flin Flon’s favourite explorer statue has a new look this week for a good cause.

It may have been a pandemic-era celebration, but Flin Flon’s latest edition of Culture Days still earned national honours.

Flin Flon’s most active drama troupe will hit the stage this weekend for the first time since before the pandemic began.

Catherine Joa is still celebrating her recent first place overall in the Manitoba Rural and Northern Juried Art Show earlier this fall - even if it caught her completely by surprise.

The pandemic, a strong graduating class and a decline in enrolment has brought trouble for minor hockey in Flin Flon. While players are back on the ice, few referees are returning and games, tournaments and league play are on the line.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation will be front and centre during the Flin Flon Bombers' Saturday night home game. The club will wear special commemorative uniforms, welcome back a former captain and raise money for an Indigenous charity.

With a new season of winter activities already underway, work is continuing at the Whitney Forum to make it easier for people to come in and watch.

Celebration delayed for two months due to COVID-19

Former Flin Flon Bomber Reid Robertson has continued to make an impact on the school where he served as a mentor.

The second Flin Flon luncheon of the fall season was held at the Viscount Gort Hotel on Friday, Nov. 2 with 65 guests in attendance for a roast beef dinner in the Viscount Room on the second floor of the hotel.
