Wawa Council to Consider 2023 Capital Budget, Dissolving BIA, Future of MMCC Canteen

Wawa Municipal Council will consider approving the 2023 capital budget and dissolving the BIA in back-to-back meetings tonight.

First up is a Committee of the Whole meeting including a presentation by Charlie Todesco on predator control, a follow-up on last month's discussion about the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre canteen, a memo on the dissolution of the Wawa BIA (Business Improvement Area), a report on the capital budget presented last month, and a memo on appointments to committees and boards.

That'll be followed by a regular Council meeting, which includes a resolution to accept the draft capital budget presented ahead of the holidays - it outlined over $5-million in proposed projects, including $1.6-million in newly recommended "high priority" projects - along with a resolution to appoint a member for the Algoma Public Health board, and by-laws re-establishing several municipal committees (Heritage, Cemetery, Age-Friendly, Public Library Board, and Economic Development and Tourism).

There's also a single "in-camera" item: a legal issue relating to marina divestiture.

The meetings will be held back-to-back, starting at 6:30 pm tonight, in Council Chambers - they'll also be livestreamed through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
