The honours keep rolling in for Manitoba’s Sochi Winter Games gold medalists.
Olympians Jennifer Jones, Kaitlyn Lawes, Jill Officer and Dawn McEwen along with Paralympian Dennis Thiessen of Crystal City have been inducted into the Order of the Buffalo Hunt.
The prestigious award has been around since 1957 and recognizes individuals in our province who demonstrate outstanding skills in leadership, service, and community commitment.
The Jones’ rink was a perfect 11-0 and beat Sweden to win the championship while Thiessen and the Canadian Paralympic squad defeated Russia to earn the top prize.
