The North Bay Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Clubs of North Bay and Nipissing joined together to throw an incredible fundraiser for the North Bay Regional Health Centre. Over 500 people celebrated together the moving forward of this important project and raised $72,000 in the process. Congratulations to Chris Mayne, the chair of the event, to the members of the North Bay Rotary Club, the Kiwanis Club of North Bay and the Kiwanis Club of Nipissing and to all the volunteers for a fabulous evening.

That same day, the Papa Joe ride took place: a motorcycle ride between North Bay and Mattawa. The 300-plus riders enjoyed a beautiful day for a ride, a great barbecue in downtown Mattawa and a big dinner and party in North Bay.
