Wawa Municipal Council's declared areas around local schools as "Community Safety Zones".
The move was approved in last night's Council meeting - more than a month after it was initially proposed - with Infrastructure Services Assistant Director Rebecca Weatherall explaining in last night's Committee of the Whole meeting that staff launched a survey and held an open house, receiving feedback overwhelmingly in favour of the idea, which would Weatherall previously explained would see the zones established around the Churchill school zone, Sir James Dunn, and Ecole l'Escalade, to address concerns about speeding.
Weatherall told Council ahead of their vote that approving the by-law would mean staff would proceed with signage to install for the upcoming school year in September, accompanied by an educational campaign for drivers.
