Wawa's new council will rotate the role of deputy mayor over its term.
In their meetings last night, Council approved a staff recommendation for each councillor to spend one year as deputy mayor, starting with the most experienced member - Councillor Mitch Hatfield - with the next - Councillor Cathy Cannon - to take over next November, then Councillor Joseph Opato in November 2024, and Councillor Jim Hoffmann in November 2025, serving until Council's term ends in November 2026.
Several past councils have rotated the role among members, and even did a shorter-term rotation over the last year, after Councillor Pat Tait - who was serving as deputy mayor - was appointed mayor.
