The carnival runs through Sunday, when Chapleau Cree First Nation will be holding its 26th Annual Youth Fish Derby - starting at 10:30 am at the Fox Lake Beach Gazebo Area - followed by Family Day festivities. The full schedule's on the municipal website, chapleau.ca. Carnival wristbands are needed for most events, available today at the Civic Centre and over the weekend at the AW Moore Arena.
