Council has officially named the road in Marathon’s new Tiny Home Subdivision Poppy Lane following the community naming process. The name honours early resident Johnny Anniuk and reflects the area’s history and connection to remembrance.
The Town of Marathon is preparing the 2026 budget and wants your input. Share your priorities and help guide Council’s decisions.
Exciting news for Marathon and Manitouwadge! The two communities are partnering to share a Fire Chief position starting in 2026, strengthening collaboration and ensuring top-notch fire services for residents.
