Blackpool Hall Heritage Society board member Hans Krauseneck (l) and Star Lake Women's Institute secretary-treasurer Wanda Richter present Mel Sasek with the Erland Lee award for his tireless work in renovating the hall.
The Erland Lee award is named after an Ontario farmer who helped set up the first women's institute. Ten are given out each year, one in each province, to men to have helped the women's institutes.
