Little Canada has had a long history of veterans. From the Civil War and the Sioux Wars all the way to today, we honor the brave men and women who fought to protect American ideals: freedom, justice, and equality. Take a moment to honor the veterans in your life today, and if you are a veteran, thank you for your service.

On this day in 1856 Marceluia DeMers, Joseph Donais, and Michael Auger registered the plat of St. John's City- this was originally just a few lots around St. John's Church, and has grown since then into Little Canada! In this map, you can just see the St. John's City name to the left of Gervais Lake.

While it's an off year for most big elections, there are some small local elections around the state. They may seem unimportant, but municipal and school district elections make a big difference in our daily lives. See the Secretary of State website to see if there is a local election going on in your area!
