Hryniuk selected as Harold Johnson Change Your Story Award winner
Anne Hryniuk is the recipient of the inaugural Harold Johnson Change Your Story Award.
The $500 award was handed out last week at a short ceremony at La Ronge’s Alex Robertson Public Library. The funds will go towards printing cost for a book called Builders, Movers, Shakers, Scoundrels, Scamps and Just Plain Good People, a history of La Ronge from between 1900 to 1979.
Gill Gracie collaborated with Hryniuk on the book by writing and formatting it to get it ready to be printed. It should be ready for distribution within the next three months.
“I was writing originally a short, little book. Something like a Reader’s Digest about my dad and mom and what they did in the town here,” Hryniuk, who has been working on the book for the last three years, said.
