RVWest Awards Given to Local Attractions

The Spirit Way Wolf Statues have turned Thompson into a tourist hotspot on the way to Churchill, says Project Director for Spirit Way Volker Beckmann.

 

The Statues were given a Sliver award in the RVWest 2016 Reader's Choice Awards in the category of Favourite Attraction in Manitoba. It fell third behind The Forks in Winnipeg and the Great White Bear Tours in Churchill.

 

Beckmann says the original plans for Spirit Way were to make it a stop for people who would make their way to the polar bear capital.

 

The awards were handed out after surveying RVWest's audience in many categories to find out their favourite destinations and attractions.

 

Other Thompson winners were the Thompson Information Centre who won Gold in Favourite Visitor Information Centre in Manitoba and the Heritage North Museum who won Gold for Favourite Historical Site in the province.
