Rainy River Record

Judy Eluik, left, of Atikokan and Ron McAlister, center, of Rainy River recently retired from the public school board after many years of service. They are seen here with Director of Education Heather Campbell.

For the past few weeks a group of Canadian Geese have been making Hannam Park home. They had not left as of Sunday and some people are worried they are hanging back from migration because one of their own is shackled by what appears to be fishing line as seen here.

Korean War Veteran, Harry Arnould, left, Rainy River Legion President Gerry Marchuk, center, and American Legion Rep. Flip Phillipe, far right, are seen here saluting as the Last Post is played at the cenotaph service Thursday.
