Municipalities throughout Nipissing-Timiskaming are receiving 30-thousand dollars from the federal government to help with their Canada Day celebrations. The money is being split between Mattawa, Powassan, Temagami, North Bay, Callander, and Latchford.
MP Jay Aspin has also announced that the Canadian Citizenship Reaffirmation Ceremony for the region will take place on Canada Day. Aspin encourages everyone to come out and renew their Canadian citizenship. That ceremony will be at the North Bay Waterfront Kiwanis Bandshell at 11 AM, and is open to the public.
