The view from the lookout over Michipicoten Bay was beautiful Saturday evening. Just visible on the horizon was Michipicoten Island. Looking to the left, one could just see the sun descending behind the ribbon clouds, and minutes later peeking below the cloud and just above the horizon lighting it on fire. A beautiful sunset.  

The 2024 Santa Parade was a resounding success. There were over 30 floats that made their way down Broadway and Mission Road to the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre where everyone could enjoy hot chocolate and a small campfire with Mayor and Council. Thanks to Luc Berthiaume for the photography.
