See who won CAMRT’s first 75th anniversary contest!

The first 75th anniversary contest has come and gone! We’ve had an amazing response rate and thanks to everyone who participated.

We asked members to pit their knowledge about the 75 years of CAMRT against their fellow members to win some prizes (and national bragging rights) along the way.

 Contest Winners:

The outright winner of the historical trivia quiz was Kim Crawford of London, Ontario won by getting 9/10 answers right – an impressive accomplishment. Kim won a $25 Tim Horton’s Gift Card, and the highly coveted national bragging rights.
