News Tidbits:

• Very disappointed to hear that Elliot Lake has cancelled their 2023 Drag Races. The community is looking for a group to run the event which provide insurance, staffing, equipment and the financial backing they need. The event loses about $35,000 annually which will make it difficult to find a group/organizer.
• Congratulations to Black Thunder Enterprises who are reopening this morning under the name of Makade Mimkii Enterprises at 10 a.m.
