Wawa seniors are being offered a chance to learn more about ticks today.
The Wawa Goose Seniors Centre is hosting an information session about ticks, featuring Mariah Tremblay of Algoma Public Health, as ticks are noted to be "prevalent across Ontario, especially in wooded, brushy, and grassy areas", and the blackegged - or deer - tick is of primary concern because it can transmit Lyme disease.
The event starts at 11 am.
