The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is affecting local events.
Wawa's Royal Canadian Legion Branch 429 has cancelled its St. Patrick's Day celebration, though it is offering do-it-yourself sandwich kits - featuring bread, corned beef, and swiss cheese - at the Legion Hall from 2 to 4:30 today.
Mission Motors is postponing its March 25th Customer Appreciation Luncheon and Baked Goods Sale - no new date is set - while local churches are suspending services, with Wawa Baptist Church also pausing its weekly and monthly activities until early April, when it will reassess the situation.
Chapleau Health Services - including Chapleau General Hospital, Turning Point, Cedar Grove Apartments, and Bignucolo Residence - is not permitting visitors at this time, while Wawa's Lady Dunn Health Centre has suspended "non-essential" visits, only allowing people visiting patients or long-term care residents who are very ill or requiring end-of-life care, or the guardian of a minor who who meets those conditions - screening will be done.
