Chapleau Mayor Seeks to Clarify Council's Position on CHS 100th Reunion

Chapleau Council's seeking to clarify its position on the upcoming Chapleau High School 100th reunion.

Though he says Council "has no problem" with the reunion - even stating support on several occasions, calling it "a positive means to unite the community" - Mayor Michael Levesque says the Township isn't in the best position to provide further support.

Mayor Levesque further notes 2020 was a "rough financial year" for the Township.

Levesque further defends Council's decision, noting they were told the Reunion Committee had received a "substantial donation" from a local corporation and had a "long list of volunteers ready to help with the event", with the fifteen month timeline to the July 2022 target date giving plenty of time to organize and prepare, so he says "success is unavoidable", but adds Council wishes the best for the reunion, offering to assist in regard to advertising and use of the recreation centre.
