Three Thompson residents are nominees for a provincial volunteer award.

Murray Kissick, Sandra Ross Hitch and Alex Sutherland are  nominated for the Great-West Life Outstanding Volunteer Award.

The award is part of Sport Manitoba’s Night of Champions, where everyone from individual athletes, teams, volunteers, officials and coaches are recognized for excellence in sports.

Kissick and Ross Hitch were nominated for their work in co-chairing the Manitoba Winter Games held in Thompson last March.  Sutherland is nominated for his volunteer efforts with the curling program here in the city.

The awards event will take place this Saturday in Winnipeg.
