Osborne's Rise From Winnipeg to New Ontario Advocate
Mr. Osborne, a Howmanville native, moved west in April nearly twenty-three years ago and built a career in journalism and public life. He shaped Winnipeg journalism, held municipal posts, led Manitoba magazine and Workman, then managed Brandon Sun, Trancon, Rat Portage News, Fort Frances Times, and Rainy River Gazette. His work helped promote New Ontario's resources and attracted investment, culminating in Fort Frances honors for his role in developing Rainy River waterpower and the Fort Frances fair.
