Chapleau Winter Carnival Cancelled for 2nd Year Due to COVID-19

Some unfortunate news for Chapleau, as the Township's cancelled next year's "Taste of the North" Winter Carnival.

Citing "ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions and capacity limits" imposed by the provincial government and local health unit, the Township says it has made the "unfortunate" decision, but emphasizes it was "made with the community's safety in mind" and the Township is "committed to following all safety protocols in place".

This is the second straight year the carnival's been cancelled because of the pandemic, though the Township assures the long-standing tradition will continue.
