The Northern Woods and Water Route functions as more of a tourist route than a major interprovincial transport route, but the case could be made for it to be added as either a Feeder or Northern/Remote route. The section of SK 55 & SK 9 near the Manitoba border is still gravel, while certain sections in Manitoba are scenic routes along lakes while better parellel routes are available (i.e. NWRR follows MB 20 near Dauphin, while most traffic would use MB 10).
Designating the NHS as part of the Hansen Lake Road (SK 106) between Prince Albert and Flin Flon would probably be a good alternative. As an aside, it seems like the NHS started to take a lower priority when Liberals took over in 2015, with most recent online report being posted in 2017.

MB 20? I would have thought it would have been routed along MB 60 then down MB 6 to Winnepeg.

It's supposed to be a "holiday route", to direct travelers to different spots for camping and fishing, etc. From Winnipeg it follows MB 6 to MB 68; east across Lake Manitoba at The Narrows to Ste. Rose du Lac; MB 5 from Ste. Rose du Lac to Ochre River; MB 20 past Dauphin Lake, through Dauphin, and along Lake Winnipegosis before continuing north on MB 10.
A more direct route would take MB 60.
