SAULT STE. MARIE, MI – Michelle Briggs, Chief Park Ranger / Interpretive Specialist for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Soo Locks, was presented with the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division award for Interpretive Excellence at a ceremony earlier this week at the Soo Locks Visitor Center by Lt. Col. Donald K. Lew, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District. The award reads, in part, “Ms. Briggs revolutionized public outreach by creating “Ranger Reels,” an innovative short-form series. Her leadership and vision resulted in videos that have been viewed over three million times, bringing the mission of the Soo Locks and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to a national audience.”
Briggs has also won the prestigious Hiram H. Chittenden Award, which has yet to be presented.
