The Wawa Airport's getting federal support to recover from the pandemic.
Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu - who's the minister responsible for FedNor - has announced more than $5.8-million in financial support for seven Northeastern Ontario airports, supporting nine initiatives to "mitigate the financial pressures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic", expected to help create or maintain 23 jobs and restore five more full-time positions.
That funding includes $332,264 for the Municipality of Wawa, as well as $140,325 for the Town of Hearst, and support for airports in Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Gore Bay, Moosonee, and Earlton-Timiskaming.
