Wawa Municipal Council's holding a pair of meetings tonight.

First up is a Committee of the Whole meeting including discussion about a request for "Community Bear-Proof Bins" - like in Chapleau - and comments from the Michipicoten Rod and Gun Club regarding the MTO's proposed location for a rest stop along Highway 17, next to the club's property north of town.

Council's also set to discuss public comments on the Strategic Plan refresh, as well as Migrating North Tourism Project, the draft operating and capital budgets and schedule of fees.

That'll be followed by a regular meeting of Council, which includes resolutions regarding levy increases for Algoma Public Health and a call for the provincial government to establish an Airport Capital Assistance Program, approving the 2026 budget for the Superior East OPP Detachment Board, and commenting to the MTO about the proposed Highway 17 rest stop, as well as by-laws confirming agreements for voting services and for a lease for the Wawa Goose Seniors Centre.

The meetings will be held back-to-back, starting at 6:30 pm tonight in Council Chambers -the main level boardroom of Town Hall - they'll also be livestreamed through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
