Wawa's curling season won't be extended after all.
While Wawa Municipal Council last month heard a request from the Wawa Men's Curling Club to extend the curling ice season so that the club's 75th annual bonspiel can be held the first weekend of April, Municipal CAO/Clerk Maury O'Neill noted in last night's Committee of the Whole meeting that the final weekend of March had been freed up, so the event would be held then, no longer requiring the extension.
O'Neill did note staff are still investigating requests from Ecole Saint-Joseph and the Wawa Minor Hockey executive that the arena ice season be extended to start September 1st and end April 15th, rather than starting the final Monday of September and ending the final Monday of March.
