Wear Green and White Friday

Students and staff at Englehart Public School are being encouraged to wear green and white Friday as Ontario celebrates Franco-Ontarian Day on September 25.
This year's celebration comes at the end of a special year for Ontario's Francophone community. September 25, 2025 marked 50 years since the Franco-Ontarian flag was first raised in Sudbury, launching a year of celebrations that continues into fall 2026.
The green and white flag was created by history professor Gaétan Gervais and political science student Michel Dupuis and first raised at the University of Sudbury on September 25, 1975. It has since become one of the most recognizable symbols of Franco-Ontarian identity.
The anniversary year has included celebrations and cultural projects across the province. In December, another milestone was reached when the Franco-Ontarian flag was permanently raised at Queen's Park alongside the Canadian and Ontario flags.
Today, Ontario is home to more than 652,000 Francophones, the largest Francophone community in Canada outside Quebec.
The flag itself tells part of that story. Green represents summer and white represents winter, while the fleur-de-lis represents the worldwide French-speaking community and the trillium represents Ontario.
So when students at Englehart Public School wear green and white Friday, they're doing more than showing school spirit. They're joining communities across Ontario in recognizing more than 400 years of French presence in the province and a flag that has represented Franco-Ontarian pride for more than half a century.
🚧 Sunnyside Road Closure
Sunnyside Road between Lakeshore Road and Phippens Road in Temiskaming Shores will be closed on Thursday, September 24 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for an emergency exercise.
Residents may hear sirens and see emergency lights and simulated smoke during the exercise. There is no threat to public safety. Drivers are asked to use an alternate route during the closure.

🍔 Arena Concession Operator Wanted
The Town of Englehart is looking for an individual, business, sports group or community organization interested in operating the concession booth at the Englehart Arena for the upcoming season.
The opportunity could be used to run a small business or raise funds for a team or community organization. Proposals must be submitted to Karen Cooke at [email protected] by Friday, September 25 at 2 p.m
💧 Temagami Water System Flushing
The Ontario Clean Water Agency will conduct routine flushing of Temagami’s municipal water system, with revised dates of September 21 to 25 for Temagami South and September 28 to October 2 for Temagami North.
Residents may experience temporary water discolouration, rust or sediment, and reduced water pressure during the work. Once flushing is complete, run a cold-water tap with the aerator removed until the water runs clear.
🧩 Puzzle Exchange Coming to the Library
The Temiskaming Shores Public Library is collecting gently used, complete puzzles from August 31 to September 19 for an upcoming community Puzzle Exchange. For every accepted puzzle, donors will receive one voucher, with a limit of five puzzles per household.
Puzzle Swap Day is Saturday, September 26, with voucher holders choosing puzzles from noon to 2 p.m. The exchange opens to everyone from 2 to 3 p.m., when remaining puzzles can be picked up without a voucher.
