It seems someone has stepped forward to run the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre's canteen.
In their Committee of the Whole meeting last night, Wawa Municipal Council was told that there were no applications under the Request for Proposals released just before Christmas, though Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson noted he was approached afterward by a "local member of our business community" who was interested in operating the canteen, with a proposal expected this week - Patterson noted the individual he would not name has a history of being able to operate "this type of franchise".
Council agreed to Patterson's request for more time to receive that proposal and hammer out a legal agreement for the next Council meeting, which will be held January 24th.
Patterson was also asked whether the kitchen was available for tournaments, and replied that did not happen last weekend but a couple volunteers would run the canteen this coming weekend.
