Preparations are continuing for a couple major summer events in Chapleau.
Mayor Ryan Bignucolo says an update was given about Canada Day celebrations in this week's Council meeting.
Mayor Bignucolo is also optimistic about the upcoming Gold Rush Nationals Drag Race to be held in August.
While the drag race debuted in 2019, it hasn't been held since - an attempt in 2023 was cancelled a month before it was to be held - due to a busy forest fire season - and it was not held last year.
