Vendors who produce their own products are invited to book in for the four days of the market which will take place June 24th, July 22nd, August 19th, and September 23rd. By Grant Lewis - We know many people, if not everyone, are shocked at the price of food today. But……there are alternatives and the price is right! Foraging for edibles in the wild, also known as Horta hunting, has been around for centuries. Of course, the problem is figuring what is edible and what is not. Well the Espanola Gardeners can help you out. Sari Huhtala, from Spanish is an expert and will be sharing her expertise on Monday, June 12th at the Northern Life Church at 7:00 p.m. There are many wild edibles in the forest, around your house and in your garden. Sari Huhtala Presentation Sagamok-Anishnawbek First Nation Opens New Detachment Elder Manitowabi told the gathering “The police can’t do it alone. We have to work with them to make sure our community is safe. The local detachment now has five officers and one sergeant. The new detachment building itself features two holding cells, a fingerprint room, and an IT/Guard Monitoring Room, as well as a sally port entry garage, hard and soft interview rooms, a family room, a conference room, and administrative spaces. A welcome addition is the four new pod units for officers to use when not on duty, allowing them to stay in the community between shifts rather than commuting each day. Each pod is a furnished bedroom unit with access to on-site kitchen and laundry facilities. A community barbecue was held following the ribbon-cutting providing an opportunity to meet the new officers, talk about policing programming, and networking with the community leaders. She will demonstrate ways to harvest and preserve all this good stuff. Sari is the publisher and founder of Alive+Fit Magazine. The magazine was 14 years in print and is now digital. She also owns 70 acres of pristine old growth forest on the shores of the North Channel with meandering trails, protected wetlands and spectacular vistas. The Laughing Forest connects one with nature, and is ripe with edible food. So please join us on the 12th, for a very interesting evening. Everyone welcome and bring a friend. Espanola’s Economic Development Initiates Hosting Second Year Of Marketing The market, which will be held in the downtown municipal parking lot on Tudhope Street, will feature fresh products, florals, homemade goods, furniture and crafts, and special gift items.

OFFICE & ART SUPPLIES Belanger - Olga (Romanouski) passed away at the Espanola Hospital on May 20, 2023, at the age of 91, surrounded by her family. Olga was born in Espanola on October 27, 1931, to Justyna (John Ostroski) & Nick Romanouski. She was the younger sister to Roy, who was 3 years her senior. Olga married Min Belanger (2006), “the love of my life,” in October of 1955. They were able to celebrate 50 years of marriage prior to Dads passing. They had three children, Rhonda (1962), Dawna (Steve), and Ralph, whom they were extremely proud of. In 1991, Olga became a Baba, her most cherished role. Her two granddaughters Madison and Brett were the light of her life. Olga had a large extended family. Sister-in-law to Leo, Edna, Frank (Mianne), Lorraine, Robert (Sylvia), Yvonne, Maurice as well as many surviving nieces and nephews. Mom will be deeply missed by Buddy, her faithful canine companion who gave her great joy for the last 12 years. In her early years, Mom was a great ball player and loved to curl, she always enjoyed a bonspiel! Mom was very proud of her Ukrainian heritage and instilled that culture in her children. Olga was a great friend to many and always enjoyed discussing the history of Espanola. As many of you know, Mom loved a good get-together and always enjoyed a cold beer. We loved her dearly and she truly was our rock. We would like to thank Shirley, our friend and neighbor, for always being there. Weepee & Berine for your years of love and friendship. Also, the Espanola Hospital nursing staff and Dr. Ainslie for your care.
