Some local schools are marking an important cultural day today.
The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon notes students at its schools - including in Wawa, Dubreuilville, and Chapleau - will mark the provincial Franco-Ontarian day with "a multitude of dynamic activities in their schools and communities, planned to honour the strength of their francophone community".
Locally, that includes students from Chapleau's École Sacré-Cœur parading through the community at 1:30 pm this afternoon, to join others in the Francophone community at Town Hall at 2 o'clock, when a flag raising ceremony will be held.
