Wawa Municipal Council is holding a lunchtime meeting today to consider a single topic: arena truss recoating.
Included on the agenda is a staff report on the topic, as well as a resolution to accept a staff recommendation to award the job to Ottawa-based Hastings Painting Corporation, with a by-law confirming that.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explains the recoating was recommended in a structural inspection of the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre, and specifically the arena.
Patterson notes the trusses are starting to show how long it's been since they were last painted.
While it's still unclear when the arena or community centre will be able to reopen, Patterson says the hope is - if the project moves forward - that the work will be done "relatively quick", before the facility reopens.
The meeting is being held electronically at noon, livestreamed on the Municipality's YouTube page.
