Wawa said good bye to a longtime councillor last night.
As the current Wawa Municipal Council held their final meeting - with outgoing mayor Pat Tait absent - outgoing councillor Bill Chiasson was presented with a framed goose print, with CAO Maury O'Neill lauding his twelve years of dedicated service on Council.
O'Neill also praised Councillor Chiasson's attendance record - even as proceedings were held online - and his dedication to various committees, including the Cemetery Committee, further touting his treatment of staff, such as hand-delivering Christmas cards.
Councillor Chiasson - who noted he did not run for re-election due to health reasons, but could seek a seat on Council again in the future, if that changes - says was honoured, emphasizing he worked for "the people".
Chiasson also thanked all the public that supported him - and even those that didn't - adding he intends to keep working on other committees "that keep this town going", vowing to "do the best [he] can for the best of this town".
The new Wawa Council's set to be sworn-in on November 15th, with their first proper meeting to be held December 13th.
