Deadline Nears for Prospective Wawa Councillors

Time's almost up in Wawa's search for a new councillor.

Launched last month - after councillor Pat Tait was promoted to mayor following Ron Rody's resignation from Council at the end of November - Wawa's search for candidates has seen the municipality accept expressions of interest to serve out the remaining ten months of the term.

Municipal Clerk Cathy Cyr says potential councillors must meet certain requirements under the Municipal Elections Act.

Cyr reminds applications can be found on the municipality's website, and submitted - along with a freedom of information form, photo, and explanation of why you're running - by email or by dropping off at the Municipal Office by 2 pm this Wednesday, January 19th.

Wawa Municipal Council plans to hold an interview process in a meeting next week to determine who they'll appoint.
