Current Wawa & Chapleau Councils to Hold Light Final Meetings Tonight

A couple local councils are set to hold their final meetings tonight.

The outgoing Chapleau Town Council has a light agenda (as only Lisi Bernier will be staying on, and outgoing member Gerard Bernier will be absent) though they will hear a report from the treasurer on the year's finances versus this year's budget, as well as a memo on single use plastics and discussion on a rate change for Call2Recycle.

The meeting's set to be held at 6:30 pm in Civic Centre Council Chambers.

While Wawa Municipal Council will retain more members (Councillor Melanie Pilon will become mayor and councillors Cathy Cannon and Mitch Hatfield will stay on) it's also a light night, with a Corporate Planning Committee meeting including only monthly reports from department heads, which will be accepted during tonight's regular meeting, which also includes a resolution to approve the requisition of goose prints, and two "in-camera" items, both legal issues, one relating to an offer to purchase property and the other about an application under the section of the Municipal Act relating to cancellation, reduction, or refunding of taxes.

Those meetings will be held back-to-back, also beginning at 6:30 pm, in Council Chambers.

The new Councils in Wawa & Chapleau are set to be sworn-in on November 15th.
