MOM's Way
MOM's Way is the name for a series of highways in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Manitoba, and the U.S. state of Minnesota. The name "MOM" is an acronym for Manitoba, Ontario, and Minnesota, the two provinces and one state traversed by this multi-highway route. MOM's Way provides a secondary route between the cities of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Thunder Bay, Ontario.[2] Many segments of MOM's Way are connected to the Old Dawson Trail, the first all-Canadian route between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg.
