Wawa's mayor is touting benefits of going to conferences, after attending the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference.
Mayor Melanie Pilon emphasizes such events are a key opportunity to promote and help the community.
While Pilon says Wawa had no delegations to ministers, the mayor says she did have the opportunity to speak with some key figures - including one before the event.
Mayor Pilon also notes she did participate in delegations with other groups - like the Northern Ontario Women's Caucus, of which she's a regional vice president - further touting her opportunities to learn and brings back knowledge from connections within those groups.
