THE RenoMark Renovators Council of the Manitoba Home Builders' Association held its annual Renovation of the Year Awards Night on Nov. 5 at the Victoria Inn.
A record 44 entries were received in six categories from 10 renovators. Six judges reviewed and evaluated all 44 entries, scoring them on criteria devised specifically for this competition. The quality of work was amazing and all 44 projects were on display on signs posted in the banquet room. Competition was extremely close and only a point or two separated many entrants
