Jonathon Naylor Editor Those involved in Flin Flon's vibrant arts and culture scene are basking in the glow of national recognition. Of all the Culture Days celebrations held across Canada last year, Flin Flon and area organized the eighth-highest volume of registered activities. 'I have to say I was surprised because there were so many communities across Canada that were participating,' said Crystal Kolt, cultural coordinator of the Flin Flon Arts Council, which organized the local events. A new report from the national officials behind Canada's Culture Days events singled out the busiest of the 365 communities that took part last year. Toronto, Winnipeg and Ottawa finished first, second and third respectively. The Ontario cities of Mississauga and London were fourth and fifth. Vancouver came in sixth place, with Stratford, Ont., seventh and Flin Flon eighth. Rounding out the top 10 were Richmond, B.C., and Barrie, Ont. Flin Flon and area, with an overall population of 7,759 (excluding the lake areas), was by far the smallest community in the top 10. See 'It's...' on pg. 10
