Hawk Junction Resident Appointed to Wawa Public Library Board

The Wawa Public Library Board has a new member - from Hawk Junction.

In their meeting last night, Wawa Municipal Council approved the appointment of Rose-Ann Turyk to the library board, filling a seat that's been vacant since late January.

There was some discussion about whether Turyk was allowed to be a member of the board - as a resident of Hawk Junction, not Wawa - though Council was told that there is no requirement under the municipal by-law - which is based on provincial law - that a library board member be from the community.

It was further noted that Hawk Junction does have a library service agreement with Wawa, which was confirmed for 2020 during last night's meeting.
