Wawa's annual Winter Carnival is promising a weekend of fun activities, encouraging everyone to "explore the north". Several events are planned - with the parade changed to a "Northern Lights Walk" from Queen's Park to the Community Centre starting at 6 tonight, followed by a bonfire, fireworks, free skate, and family dance - and Wawa EDC Administrative Assistant Isabeau Allard highlights a few more of the weekend's events.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson reminds there will also be the usual Rotary pancake breakfasts over the weekend, events at the Legion, and more, continuing to Family Day.
Patterson also notes transit bus service will be offered during the Carnival - free for seniors, discounted for adults and children - with transportation available for the Monday snowshoe hike. The Carnival schedule's available at the Wawa Recreation Facebook page and at the Community Centre, which is where carnival buttons can be found. JJAM FM will be broadcasting live from the Carnival, 10 am to 2 pm Saturday.
