Churchill, 20 February 1969: Michael Klewchuk
Michael Klewchuk was raised and educated in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and moved to Flin Flon, Manitoba in 1958. He later moved to Snow Lake in 1965, where he was a merchant and was active with the local Chamber of Commerce. He once took part in a delegation to Ottawa to investigate possibilities for television development in northern Manitoba.
