Wawa Council to Welcome New Member Amid Back-to-Back Meetings

Wawa Municipal Council welcomes a new councillor amid a pair of meetings tonight.

Cathy Cannon is set to take a seat vacated by Robert Reece's departure last month - at the time, Council decided to simply appoint Cannon as a replacement, as she was the first runner-up in the 2018 election, just 20 votes shy of the fourth place candidate.

Council will then continue a Corporate Planning Committee meeting which will include a presentation from the Wawa EDC on the Wawa Age Friendly Plan, followed by discussion on the municipal strategic plan, a disaster recovery plan, and a request for municipal representation for a Wawa Arts Council.

That'll be followed by a regular meeting, which includes a resolution to approve an expenditure for a new fire truck, as well as three "in-camera" items: a personnel issue about the Wawa Transformational Plan report received in August; a legal issue about a request for road access; and a legal issue about a settlement agreement.

The meetings will be held back-to-back, starting at 6:30 tonight - the public can attend with restrictions or watch through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
