Funding to support the Wawa sportsfield's new running track was officially announced this week.
While the Municipality of Wawa's announced in April that installation of the track had been finalized, Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Michael Mantha stopped in town to officially announce the $130,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Fund, with Mayor Melanie Pilon saying the Municipality's "absolutely thrilled" for the formal announcement.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explains there is a significant difference in the new track.
MPP Mantha touted the importance of the track, and the quality of the work.
Mantha further commended those responsible behind-the-scenes.
Mantha also highlighted support for the airport and golf course recently announced by the NOHFC, and heavily hinted of more good news to come for the area.
