These are exciting times for Snow Lake resident Gerald Lamontagne. He and three other partners took ownership of the Snow Lake Motor Hotel in May, 2012, and they are now on the verge of expanding into a brand new motel just a few steps away.

“Our hotel, which has been around since 1949, has been doing great,” said Lamontagne. “It’s a very exciting time for northern Manitoba and Snow Lake in particular, and there are lots of opportunities for entrepreneurs.”

Lamontagne praised the Communities Economic Development Fund (CEDF) for lending much needed support.

“Since we got into the hotel business, the CEDF business loans staff has provided valuable guidance and expertise, especially with our upcoming project. We can’t thank them enough.”
