Citizens Info Meeting for Wawa OSB

A citizens meeting is being held about the relaunch of Wawa's OSB plant.

Wawa OSB's holding the information session to discuss the oriented strand board manufacturing plant - just outside Wawa - noting representatives will be able to explain in English or French the major steps of the project, the company's vision, and associated employment and training opportunities.

The Ontario government had announced back in April that Wawa OSB was receiving a conditional grant of $15-million over four years to build the province's third OSB manufacturing facility, to help satisfy growing demand for building materials in Canada and the US.

The open house event runs from 5 to 7:30 pm this evening, at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre.
