Wawa Council Holding 1st Meetings of New Term

The new Wawa Municipal Council's set to hold their first proper meetings.

Tonight will start with the newly rebranded Committee of the Whole - the former Corporate Planning Committee - which will include delegations about the Wawa Tourism Study (from Bannakin Travel and Tourism) and the Water and Wastewater Rate Study and Wawa Long-Term Financial Plan (both from Watson & Associates Economists), as well as discussion on next year's meeting schedule, the schedule for the deputy mayor role over the term, a review of committees of Council and Council member appointments, a memo on the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre's canteen, and dissolution of the Wawa Business Improvement Area.

That isn't on the agenda for tonight's regular meeting, which includes resolutions affirming next year's meeting schedule, addressing predator control, and appointing board and committee members and a deputy mayor, along with yearly by-laws, and four "in-camera" items, all legal issues: two about offers to purchase property; one regarding a property standards complaint; and another about staffing.

The meetings will be held back-to-back, starting at 6:30 pm tonight, in Council Chambers - they'll also be livestreamed through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
