Winter Carnival Kidtivities By Michael Levesque ith the turn of weather, from frigid to balmy, folks feel the urge to get active. Getting active is what we hope young people will do this Winter Carnival. We have
W
organized numerous activities to complement that wish. This is the first of two articles on carnival kidtivities. The Chapleau Curling Club is not only organizing the annual adult bonspiel but also a Little Curlers afternoon on Wednesday, February 12th. Participation is open to any interested Grades 5 and 6 students. On Thursday, February 13th, Grades
5 to 8 students from all four schools will compete in the Broomball Tournament. Competition is divided into male and female leagues. Play is from 9:30AM to 3:00PM. For those with a taste for the outdoors, we offer Snowshoe Fun in the municipal ballfield. This is for fun not competition. Several courses of varying lengths will be outlined to match individual skills and interest. Bring your
own snowshoes if you want. Snowshoes are supplied to those without. We encourage parents to accompany the very young. Snowshoe Fun is scheduled on Friday, February 14th and Saturday, February 15th, from 3:30PM to 5:00PM. This year's Saturday Children's Activities is slightly different from previous. This year we have an air-filled bouncy castle, a fish pond, face painting and a
selection of games. For those ages 2 to 14. Participation is free with a carnival badge. What to do with a cardboard box and a roll of duct tape? We pondered this question for hours. Finally, a eureka moment struck our Leisure D i r e c t o r. H e s u ggested a Cardboard Box Race. This race takes place on Sunday, February 16th, at 1:00PM on the Chapleau Public Schools hill. The race is open to all elemen-
tary school students. The racing box consists of a cardboard box and duct tape, nothing else. Prizes are given - two for the race and one for the best decorated. Who knows, perhaps a future Olympian will emerge. A pamphlet outlining and detailing all youth activities will be distributed to all Chapleau students. Thank you and don't forget the sunscreen.
Meals of Hope says Thanks! I
n the last two months of 2013 there was just over 2,200 pounds of grocery items delivered to the Local Food bank called Meals of Hope. Thanks to all in the community who contributed to the Holiday Train (933 lbs) as well as all who gave through the Child Care Centre (448 lbs).

It is recognized that there is often a lot of organization that goes into these events to help the food bank. Each ones effort is very much appreciated and these donations are gratefully accepted. Special thanks to the Chapleau District MNR who braved the frigid temperatures to host their 5th annual Food Drive Campaign. This year 750 food items or (871lbs) were collected as well as $600.00 in cash. All of these donations show how generous the citizens of Chapleau and surrounding area are. Thanks to all who made this possible, R i c h a r d a n d Ly n n
Bignucolo for offering the Valu-mart location and to Rick Smith of Pizza Hut Express and Terry Beckerton of
Subway for providing hot meals during the day to the MNR staff. Thanks also to all who contributed financially
to the Food bank over the past year Meals of Hope functions to help the needy, but we could
not do it without such a generous community. Thank You citizens of Chapleau.
