Wawa's curling season is ending early, but hockey players and skaters are getting a little more time.
Facing a request to use the curling rink for COVID-19 vaccination clinics, Wawa Municipal Council decided in their meeting this week to shut down the rink, with Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explaining that will happen quickly.
Patterson has some good news about arena ice, however.
As vaccination clinics have already started to be held at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre, Patterson notes there's been some changes to recreation activities, to accommodate.
Council - meanwhile - adopted rules regulating cannabis retail stores in town, following provincial rules requiring a certain distance from schools though not including a series of other "areas of concern" discussed - and questioned - at the previous Council meeting.
