A century of community memories is about to be celebrated in a big way this July.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 54 is gearing up for its 100th anniversary celebration with five days of events planned from July 14 to 18, including concerts, entertainment, and community gatherings.

One of the biggest highlights will be four arena events featuring tribute bands and performers including Hotel California, ABBA Gold, Eric Leclerc, and In The Flesh: A Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Organizers say limited arena passes are now available, giving attendees access to all four shows for one price.

For many around the Tri Towns, Branch 54 has been part of generations of community events, celebrations, and local history. Reaching 100 years feels like more than just an anniversary. It feels like a community milestone.

Notre-Dame-du-Nord residents are being asked to weigh in on a possible new recreational addition for the community.

A local survey posted by the municipality is gathering feedback on whether residents would be interested in playing pickleball if courts were added to the concrete rink surface currently used for ice during the winter season.

Community members can respond by commenting directly on the Facebook post, sharing whether they would play regularly, occasionally, or simply want to support the idea.

Pickleball continues to grow rapidly across Canada, especially in smaller communities looking for fun, social, and accessible outdoor activities during the warmer months.

Residents can leave their comments and suggestions on the original Facebook post here:

A new free business support program is launching for entrepreneurs across the Temiskaming region looking to strengthen and grow their businesses during those critical early years.

The Incub’Action program is designed for entrepreneurs who have launched a business within the last two years or are currently finalizing a project for the region.

The program will support entrepreneurs in Temiskaming Shores, Kirkland Lake, and surrounding northern communities, with services offered in both English and French.
