Wawa Municipal Council's approved the ongoing limited predator control hunt in town for another year.
Council approved the continuation in last night's regular meeting, after Charlie Todesco outlined some details of the effort during the Committee of the Whole meeting, with councillors asking about the number of hunters involved (about six), past issues accessing the golf course - Todesco noted difficulty due to fencing, which he said had been echoed by snowshoers, though he also acknowledged concerns about snowmachines otherwise - and how often the hunt went to the snow dump, with Todesco noting it was not as viable last year due to lots of activity, including snow removal or simply other people sometimes with pets - he did express optimism about how things are going in Wawa, noting reports of predators in Hornepayne.
Todesco also spoke on concerns raised about zebra mussels that have been detected in Wawa Lake, playing down concerns about safety and offering some advice regarding related infrastructure maintenance.
