Wawa Municipal Council's approved plans for work at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre and the Marina.
In their meeting last night, Council passed resolutions accepting staff recommendations for two RFPs and an RFT.
Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson explains the MMCC project involves flooring.
Patterson says the flooring work also includes the curling rink.
That work's expected to be done over the summer, which Patterson calls "the perfect time", since those areas aren't really used until late September.
Council also approved the RFP for replacing the fish cleaning building at the Harry McCluskie Municipal Marina, which Patterson notes has been "on the radar" for a few years.
The third item approved by Council was the purchase of a tractor and attachment, which Patterson says will benefit his department.
Patterson also updated Council on a request regarding improvement for Bethune Cemetery, recommending the trail to it be brought up to "wilderness trail" standard, noting the more accessible "outdoor path" level would require substantially more work, with concerns that it's unclear where all the graves are in the cemetery as it's poorly marked and not well documented - he also assured that efforts will be taken to improve the cemetery site itself, as maintenance of abandoned cemeteries defaults to municipal responsibility.
