About this guide
An independent community guide. Not affiliated with the Township of Russell.
Each week we gather what would be fun or worthwhile to do around Russell and Embrun, in English and in French, and pin it to one page with a short cartoon episode.
How we choose
We pick a few things that look fun or worthwhile this week, rather than listing everything. For each one we give the practical details the organizer publishes: when, where, the cost, who it's for, the language, and any registration or access notes.
How we check
Every note on the board links to the organizer's own page. The green "Checked at the source" stamp means we read those details there. It doesn't mean the organizer confirmed them to us.
Each issue says on what date its details were checked. Things can change after that, so please confirm with the organizer before you go.
Languages
Every issue comes in English and in French, with the same items and the same facts. The French edition keeps English event names as the organizers wrote them, with a short French gloss.
The episode is made separately in each language, with captions built into the video. The French text is reviewed before each issue is published. French is our second language, though, so we apologize for any mistakes.
Meet the cast
The characters from the video, on a sticker sheet. They never appear in a Remembrance segment, which a narrator reads calmly.

Spotted a mistake?
When we get something wrong, we fix it promptly.
If a correction changes something that matters, such as a date, a time, a place or a price, we say on the page what changed and when.
An email can't be changed after it's sent, so corrections to an issue go on that issue's page here.
