Festivities are getting underway today for Chapleau's "Taste of the North" Winter Carnival.
Leisure and Culture Services Director Rejean Raymond reminds the big event of the night gives a chance to get artistic.
Raymond reminds that things will ramp up Thursday night, with the annual torch light parade and a Northern Lights Walk, both of which will wrap up at the arena for the carnival bonfire.
A full schedule of events is available on the municipal website, chapleau.ca.
Carnival keychains are needed for many events - including tonight's Paint Night - and are available at the Civic Centre or - over the weekend - at the AW Moore Arena.
