Wawa voters have a chance to hear from and learn more about Council candidates tonight.
Wawa Business Improvement Area Chair Heidi McLaren explains the BIA's hosting a Meet the Candidates event, with all of the candidates for Wawa Municipal Council invited to attend to give the public a chance to know about those running.
McLaren notes attendees will have an opportunity to ask about items important to them.
There are nine candidates running for four seats: current councillors Cathy Cannon and Mitch Hatfield, as well as Angela Calaiezzi, Mary Harbocian, Jim Hoffmann, Leah Isosaari, Joseph Opato, Robert Reeves, and Sue Smith.
Current councillor Melanie Pilon's been acclaimed as mayor, succeeding the retiring Mayor Pat Tait.
This comes just shy of two weeks before electronic voting opens: residents can cast ballots by phone or online starting at 10 am Tuesday, October 11th - the day after Thanksgiving - until 8 pm Monday, October 24th, the province-wide municipal election date.
Tonight's Meet the Candidates event starts at 6:30 pm, at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre.
