Walter Shmon at the Northern Association of Community Councils

Walter Shmon was at the Annual General Meeting of the Northern Association of Community Councils on Wednesday this week with his new book - Dick Madole - King of the North. The book is full of northern history including a good description of the early development of the Sherritt-Gordon mine at Sherridon near Kississing Lake. I have visited Sherridon and Kississing Lake a number of times over concerns about the toxic wastes at the mine tailings site.

For political history buffs, Walter Shmon was the Liberal candidate for Flin Flon constituency in the provincial election of 1977.
