New Doc Series Includes Local Actor and Treasure Hunt for “Lost Gold”
The tales have been passed on for generations about a gold coin stash hidden along the Dawson Trail that, by today’s value, could be worth $1,000,000.
Now a team is out our way creating a new documentary series that includes a contemporary search for the gold and a portal into the true history.
Local resident Mark Lanouette was cast as the rider responsible to move the gold along the newly completed Dawson Trail.
“He was the perfect man for the job to help us film our re-enactment scenes of the solider on a horse tossing the gold on the Dawson Trail,” said series Producer Hannah Hermanson.
Filming is taking place in La Coulee, Richer, Ste. Anne, East Braintree, Winnipeg, Falcon Lake area, all along the Dawson Trail, including the Whitemouth and Brokenhead Rivers.
It will air on APTN sometime in late 2024.

DON’T FORGET...
Monday Night Bingos
By Dan Guetre
A Provincial General Election is upon us, and many of us will be casting a ballot on or before October 3 in order to decide the direction our province should take over the next few years.
If you have different questions, we suggest you reach out to the candidates and get those answers and make a decision
on who fits the bill to represent you.
This is an opportunity to turn the tables and have them remember you instead of them campaigning so you remember them.
“Politics” may not be your thing but remember, with registered voter turnout sitting between 55%-57%, those of you who do not vote could actually change the entire course of election results by casting a ballot.
