Paint Lake Lodge is the latest northern business to be Sled Friendly Certified.

The Sled Friendly Certification program is an initiative by Sled MB 53, a project aimed at promoting snowmobile tourism in northern Manitoba.

The lodge is the seventh business to receive certification, joining Sasagiu Rapids Lodge and Inter Tribal Service in Thompson, Bakers Narrows Lodge in Flin Flon, and Watchi Bay Enterprises in The Pas.

So far two municipalities have become certified Sled Friendly communities: Thompson and Snow Lake.
