🗳️ 2026 Municipal Election – Candidates’ Night

The Town of Marathon would like to provide clarification regarding a Candidates’ Night for the upcoming municipal election.

Under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, municipalities are not required to organize or host candidates’ debates or candidates’ nights. In keeping with the municipality’s role in administering the election and our commitment to remaining neutral and impartial throughout the election process, the Town of Marathon will not be organizing a Candidates’ Night.

We are pleased to share that the Marathon Public Library Board has decided to take on the organization and hosting of a Candidates’ Night for the community.

The Library Board is independently taking on this initiative to provide an opportunity for residents to hear from the candidates in the upcoming municipal election.

📅 Date: To be announced
📍 Location: To be announced
⏰ Time: To be announced

The Library Board is currently working through the details. Once finalized, information will be shared with candidates and the public.

📢 Stay tuned for more information! Further details will be provided as they become available.

The Town of Marathon remains committed to providing election information in a fair, neutral and impartial manner throughout the municipal election process. 🗳️

☀️ Celebrating Our Summer Students & Recreation Staff! ☀️

Today we wrapped up another busy summer with an End-of-Summer Student & Recreation Staff Appreciation Lunch! 🍕🎉

This summer, the Town of Marathon was proud to employ 23 students, who worked alongside our Recreation and Public Works staff in a variety of areas throughout the community, including the Peninsula Golf Course, Clubhouse, Penn Lake, Green Space, and WTS.

While a few members of the team are missing from the photo, we want to thank all of our summer students and recreation staff for their hard work, positive attitudes, and contributions over the past few months.

Our Recreation staff truly are the backbone of so many of the programs, facilities and services our community enjoys. We greatly appreciate the mentorship and support they provide to our students each summer, helping them learn new skills, build confidence and have a positive and rewarding work experience.

We’re proud to provide local students with meaningful summer employment, valuable workplace skills, hands-on experience, and the opportunity to contribute to their community.

Thank you to our students and staff for another great summer! We wish all of our students the very best as they head back to school and onto their next adventures! 💙

🏒 That’s a wrap on Gen Edge Hockey Camp! 🏒

What a great week on the ice! A huge thank you to Ty and Cam for coming to Marathon and sharing their knowledge, experience and love of the game with our 50 young athletes.

It was great to see everyone working hard, building their skills and having fun throughout the week!

Thank you to all the players and families who took part and helped make the camp such a success.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming Gen Edge Hockey back to Marathon next season! 🏒👏
