Planning kicks off for North Bay’s centennial

The inaugural meeting of North Bay’s Community Centennial Committee has wrapped up.

Last week, representatives from local school boards, post-secondary partners, Indigenous groups, local organizations, businesses and individuals all came together in an effort to plan for the City’s 100th anniversary celebrations in 2025.

Officials say the volunteer committee will be working over the next several months to solidify plans for various events and initiatives as part of a year-long celebration to mark North Bay’s 100th year.

Mayor Peter Chirico says it’s a milestone anniversary and he wants the entire community to come together in celebration.

An open invitation is being sent out to local groups and organizations encouraging them to participate by incorporating a centennial theme in their own events, activities and projects.

“We’re not just marking a century,” says Chirico. “We’re commemorating our history and our progress as a community.”

Officials say the committee will be emphasizing the importance of community involvement as planning moves ahead. Groups and organizations planning events in 2025 are encouraged to reach out to explore opportunities for collaboration to Erin Vaughan, Community Event Facilitator, at [email protected], or (705) 474-0626 x.2312.
