Wawa was recently the subject of Cambrian College contest.
The Sudbury college recently hosted more than 60 students from nine high schools across Greater Sudbury in its 2nd annual High School Business Case Study Competition, with students in the grades 11 and 12 category challenged in the "dragon's den"-style competition to "produce a plan to attract more people to move to the community...to be part of the town's future path to prosperity".
Municipal CAO/Clerk Maury O'Neill acknowledged the "great work" of the students, saying they "provided great ideas and insight on how to attract new residents to Wawa", adding "the community needs to see through the eyes of the youth, those we hope to attract to our beautiful town", and "we understand now what it takes to become a more desirable community", assuring "the Municipality fully intends to use the ideas suggested".
