A major Wawa organization will move - to the opposite end of Broadway Avenue.
In their meeting last night, Wawa Municipal Council approved a five-year lease agreement with the Canadian Mental Health Association Algoma for Iris Place to relocate to a portion of municipally-owned property at 96 Broadway Avenue, as Iris Place's lease for its current location is ending at the end of this month.
Clubhouse/Peer Support Worker Michelle Richardson welcomes the news.
At this time, Richardson couldn't give an exact timeline of the move, such as any related closures needed.
In the meeting, municipal CAO/Clerk Maury O'Neill noted some maintenance and other work that would be done to prepare the space, including replacing some carpet and building doors to better secure other sections of the building, though some rewiring will also be needed to accommodate a fridge and ventilation for a stove.
