Melanie Pilon to be Sworn-In As New Wawa Councillor in Back-to-Back Meetings

Wawa Municipal Council welcomes a new councillor amid a pair of meetings tonight.

Melanie Pilon is set to take a seat declared vacant after councillor Pat Tait was appointed mayor in December, following the resignation of Mayor Ron Rody - Pilon was picked from five candidates in a meeting last week, after three rounds of voting by council members, and will serve for the remainder of Council's term, which ends in mid-November.

That will start tonight's Corporate Planning Committee meeting, which will include a "Situation Table" delegation, an update on the grader, a report on this year's upcoming municipal election, and discussion about vacancies on committees and boards, as well as the MMCC's reopening.

That'll be followed by a regular Council meeting, including a resolution to accept the 2021 statement of remuneration, as well as several "in-camera" items: two legal issues about a request to purchase property; a legal issue about a request for extension to a site plan agreement or temporary Zoning By-Law amendment; a personal matter relating to harassment; a personnel issue relating to the CAO contract; and a legal issue about taxation.

The meetings will be held back-to-back, broadcast on the Municipality's YouTube channel starting at 6:30 tonight.
