Drag races will be returning to Chapleau this summer.
Mayor Ryan Bignucolo says Chapleau Town Council gave the go-ahead for the CRDC-run event in their recent meeting.
Bignucolo notes there are still some things to be worked out.
Mayor Bignucolo is quite positive about this move.
While a first edition of the "Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race" was held in 2019, the Township and CRDC were unable to reach a new agreement for a second edition before pandemic restrictions hit in early 2020, and it hasn't been held since.
