Established in 1999 to award members who have contributed exceptional service often in one specific area of expertise. Flo was a very active volunteer in the library, transcribed and indexed many Manitoba cemeteries. She was known to haul around display equipment, books and brochures whenever there was an opportunity to have an educational heritage display at many events around the province. She passed away in 2000 and kept on giving with a gifted photocopier for the society.
The following awards were presented in grateful acknowledgement of exceptional service to MGS. More than one Florence Cox Award can be given each year.
