Wawa Council's approved plans to replace the marina playground - with support from a private donor.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explains the donor's providing funding to the Municipality for the purchase and installation.
Patterson notes plans are to put the new playground in a slightly different spot across and slightly down the road from the current playground, which will be removed.
Patterson also notes this could have further benefit for the Michipicoten River Village, or "Mission", where there is one other playground.
With Council approving in this week's meeting, the project now moves to a "request for quotations" process this fall so that installation can happen in spring.
