The U19 Temiskaming Thunder girls wrap up their Barrie Royals tournament weekend today with a 11:30 AM tip-off vs Scarborough Blues/Lancaster at Georgian College, Court 1. Yesterday the squad faced Kingston Impact (1:30 PM) and Sudbury Jam (6:00 PM) in back-to-back games. It's a long road trip to Barrie, but our Thunder are out there representing the Tri Towns against clubs from across the province. Go Thunder! Watch the Thunder live on their Facebook Page

Today is the final day of the 2026 Superior Shores Challenge Cup in Sault Ste. Marie, and our Temiskaming Northern Loons Swim Club swimmers are in the pool for the 9:30 AM session at the John Rhodes Community Centre. Over 160 athletes from clubs across Thunder Bay, Temiskaming Shores, Sturgeon Falls, and Blenheim have been competing since Friday. Swimmers earn points by finishing in the top eight of their events, with the overall Challenge Cup awarded today. We'll have results when they're in — swim fast, Loons!

The 2026-27 hockey season is already taking shape. TSMHA tryouts begin this week for U10A, U11A, U12A, and U15A NOHA (mixed) teams, with OWHA (girls) Prep Skates starting on the weekend. A reminder: you must be registered to try out or participate in Prep Skates — no walk-ins. Registration is $40 at tsmha.ca/Tryouts and closes April 30. All ice times are in New Liskeard unless otherwise noted. Check the TSMHA website for your age group's schedule.

Congratulations are in order — the Alzheimer Society of Cochrane-Temiskaming has officially celebrated the grand re-opening of their beautiful new space. The ribbon-cutting event brought together staff, community members, and local dignitaries to mark the exciting milestone. The Society provides support, education, and compassion to individuals and families affected by dementia across the region — and their impact reaches far beyond their walls. Their dedicated team makes a meaningful difference in the lives of so many in our community every single day. The Temiskaming Shores & Area Chamber of Commerce wish the entire team continued success in their new home. What a proud moment for the Tri Towns.

It's a beautiful spring day and the Dymond Rink Dog Park is officially open for the season. Located at the Dymond Outdoor Rink at 400 Laurette Street in the Dymond subdivision, this off-leash space gives dogs a safe, fenced area to run, play, and socialize. The park is open daily from sunrise to sunset. A few reminders from the City: owners must be present and within view at all times, dogs must be under voice control, and always have a leash in hand and pick up after your pup. Fill in any holes your dog digs, and leave the glass and ceramic at home. Aggressive dogs, females in heat, and puppies under 6 months are not permitted. All dogs must be licensed with their local municipality. Today's forecast? 16°C and mainly sunny — perfect dog park weather. Get out there!

One more sleep. The Smile Cookie campaign turns 30 this year, and it kicks off tomorrow, Monday, April 27 at Tim Hortons locations across Canada — including New Liskeard. For the week of April 27 to May 3, 100% of proceeds from every $1 Smile Cookie sold go directly to local charities and community groups. Last year, the New Liskeard location raised over $36,000 for Christmas Wish. Nationally, nearly 700 charities will benefit, and the campaign has raised over $151 million since 1996. Grab a cookie, change a life.

The NE Ontario flood situation has escalated significantly. Eight communities across the northeast have now declared a state of emergency — including Greater Sudbury, West Nipissing, French River, the Township of Chisholm, and four municipalities on Manitoulin Island (Assiginack, Billings, Central Manitoulin, and Gordon/Barrie Island). Conservation Sudbury has extended the flood warning until April 30. The City of North Bay has reopened sandbag filling stations this weekend as Lake Nipissing water levels continue to rise. Officials warn that rain and potential thunderstorms forecast for this weekend could push water levels even higher. Highway 64 and 10+ secondary highways remain closed. Locally, Pete's Dam Park is still closed. Check Ontario 511

You’re going to start seeing this guy around.

We call him the Tri Town Guide.

We’re going to be launching a simple game on Facebook called Find the Guide. On certain days we’ll post a photo somewhere around the Tri Town. The Guide will be in that photo. Your job will be to figure out where it is.

You’ll drop your guess in the comment, and every correct answer will count as an entry. We’ll draw a winner each week and feature them in the newsletter. Local businesses will be part of it too, so prizes will come from right here in the community.

It’s meant to be simple. Something quick, something fun, something that makes you look at the tri town area a little differently.

We’re not launching it just yet. We want to build this up properly first. But it’s coming soon.

So for now, just keep an eye out.

Because once the Guide starts showing up, you’ll know it’s time to play.
