A century deserves a party — and Cobalt Legion Branch 44 is throwing one.

The Legion's 100th Anniversary Gala takes over the Cobalt Train Station this Saturday, October 3rd. Doors and cocktails at 5:30 PM, dinner catered by The Market Eatery at 7:00 PM, then dancing and live entertainment from the Whiskey River Blues Band featuring Cobalt's own Peter Larabie and Steve Malick. At 9:00 PM, fireworks light up the sky over Cobalt Lake — sponsored by the North Cobalt Flea Market and the Cobalt Fire Department. A complimentary end-of-evening shuttle gets everyone home safe.

Tickets are $75, available at the Branch 44 bar or by messaging them on Facebook — cash or e-transfer to [email protected] (password: COBALT). Only a few left, so don't sit on it.

Dress up the dog. It's that kind of Saturday.

Northern Animal Rescue and Sanctuary is throwing its first-ever Petober Fest this Saturday, October 3rd, 11 AM to 3 PM at 360 Armstrong St. N. in New Liskeard — a Halloween-themed fundraiser for two- and four-legged kids alike.

The lineup: pumpkin painting ($5), a Howl-ween parade for dogs and kids stepping off at 11:30, paw-print canvases ($5), a free pumpkin stomp, free Frankenstein bowling, a haunted house, a Halloween/fall bake sale, corn roast and sausages, plus prizes. Costumes encouraged — and if yours needs work, Hidden Treasure stocks pet and kids' costumes.

Curling without the ice — and without the bending.

The City of Temiskaming Shores is launching floor curling this fall, a new program aimed at older adults who want to stay active, learn a new sport, and meet people. It's played on a gym floor instead of ice, and pusher sticks let you deliver stones without bending down to floor level. The pitch: better flexibility, range of motion, and circulation, minus the cold rink.

It runs every Monday, 10 AM to noon, at the Shelley Herbert-Shea Memorial Arena in Haileybury, starting October 19th — through the fall and winter, holidays excluded. Registration is required — contact Alex at [email protected] or 705-647-5709.

If you are a coach of a team that would like to have their team scores and highlight shared with the community please reach out to [email protected] and lets connect.

New to town? The library's got your back.

The Temiskaming Shores Public Library has a dedicated settlement worker on-site every Monday and Tuesday to help newcomers and immigrants get established — work permits, study permits, and PR applications, citizenship paperwork, SIN/OHIP and benefit setup, finding a doctor, daycare, school, or job, plus English and French language resources. Professional document translation is available for a fee.

The position is funded through a partnership with the Northeastern Ontario Multicultural Centre and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

Find them in the library's Study Room at 285 Whitewood Ave. W. in New Liskeard, or reach out at [email protected] or 705-492-5665.

A COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Northdale Manor, and visitors are being asked to take precautions to help protect residents and staff.

Visitors should wear a mask and sanitize their hands, and anyone feeling unwell or experiencing symptoms should not visit. Northdale Manor is also asking people to limit or postpone non-essential visits while the outbreak continues.

A boil water advisory is in effect immediately for the entire Town of Englehart following a continuous low-pressure incident. The advisory also includes connections to the Englehart Drinking Water System in Evanturel, Charlton and Dack and Chamberlain.

Residents should boil tap water at a rolling boil for at least one minute before drinking, preparing food, brushing teeth or making ice. Residents are also asked to conserve water where possible until further notice.

The Temiskaming Shores Public Library is holding an Appreciate Autumn Colouring Contest for children ages 3 to 12 from September 19 to October 17.

Children can compete in three age categories: 3–5, 6–8 and 9–12, with a prize for the first-place winner in each group. Colouring pages are available at the library's Reference Desk.

The Ontario Clean Water Agency will conduct routine flushing of Temagami North’s municipal water system from September 28 to October 2.

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.

We help connect our readers with local businesses, services, and opportunities in the community.
