The Hub of the North has won the SledTown ShowDown provincial championship for their first time in the contest’s history.

Thompson won the fourth round against the reigning champ Flin Flon with over 65 per cent of the vote or just over 75 hundred votes.

Round five will see Thompson taking one of the other provincial sled town champs in Western Canada for the ultimate crown.

SnoRiders West, the publication that hosts the annual contest, states the winner of the 2023 SledTown ShowDown gets a trophy, bragging rights, and feature articles on its website.

It adds there’s also a chance to raise positive awareness of snowmobiling and to recognize local clubs.
