A spirited Highway 17 rivalry is taking on a different look.
Last month, North Bay defeated Sudbury in the OHL playoffs.
Now the mayors of each city are going head-to-head with a fundraising campaign involving the locally developed travel board game Tripped.
Game officials say there’s only room for one ‘near north’ city in the game, with residents given the chance to decide with $1 online votes.
North Bay Mayor Peter Chirico will also be playing the game against Sudbury’s Paul Lefebvre at the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities conference next week.
The winner gets a 20-vote head start in the competition.
100% of the proceeds will go to local charities selected by the mayors.
