The Hudson Bay Route Association (HBRA) held their 79th Annual General Meeting and Convention called Lighting Up the North at the Kikiwak Inn last Monday. This year’s appointed HBRA Board of Directors consists of Jim Berscheid as the President, Wayne Bacon as 1st Vice President and Len Gluska as the 2nd Vice President. The past president was Elden Boon.
The goal of HBRA is to promote education and, awareness of the need for continued and increased use of the Hudson Bay Railway and the Port of Churchill. As well, to identify and articulate the economic and strategic reasons why the Hudson Bay Route and the Port of Churchill are of great value to Canada in general, and Western Canada’s prairie regions in particular.
