Notable achievements

Ringette

In the early 1960s, the Espanola Parks and Recreation director, Mirl Arthur "Red" McCarthy, experimented with and developed the first official set of rules for the sport of ringette upon the request of Sam Jacks, the President of the Society of Directors of Municipal Recreation of Ontario (SDMRO), using girls ice hockey players from Espanola High School. The games were played at the Espanola Arena.

Jazz

Espanola's various jazz bands did very well at the MusicFest Canada 2006 Festival, specifically in the Instrumental Jazz Division Competition.[3]
