Wawa has its first candidate in the fall municipal election.
Leah Isosaari has filed for to become a councillor - the first person to file in Wawa, less than two months before the nomination deadline.
Nominations have been slow to file in for surrounding communities, with Chapleau only showing one candidate - Ryan Bignucolo's third bid to be mayor - while Dubreuilville's only reported one, Roger Lemoyne, running to continue representing the local French Separate School Board, which he has done for two decades.
They remain "unofficial" candidates until certification, which will be done after the August 19th nomination deadline, with the official candidate list to be released August 22nd.
