Wawa Municipal Council is holding three meetings tonight.
That includes a public meeting under the Planning Act for Zoning By-Law amendments, specifically for temporary zoning of a Pinewood Drive property to allow for a temporary work camp accommodation - trailers - to house up to 170 people for three years, with the option for a further three-year extension, which would need to be approved by Council - mining contractor Sigfusson's hoping to house workers at the site as they work on a project for Alamos Gold outside Dubreuilville.
That'll be followed by a Committee of the Whole meeting, which will include discussion about garbage and refuse collection - specifically contractor authorization and non-resident waste disposal policy - plus a draft revised fireworks by-law - Council last month heard a request from the Great Canadian Dollar Store to allow it to sell fireworks, though a staff report raised concerns about increased risks including of injury, fires, and complaints that the Municipality already receives about fireworks being set off in the community despite the current prohibition, but Mayor Melanie Pilon rejected a "flat" prohibition as "a little too cautious", wondering about potential economic benefits, including whether other businesses would be interested in selling fireworks.
Last will be a regular Council meeting, which includes a resolution declaring property at 39 Algoma Street "surplus" - plans are to sell the roughly 2.11 acres of land to an unspecified private developer "for the purposes of housing development" - as well as a by-law confirming the rezoning discussed in the first meeting, plus two "in-camera" items, both legal issues - one relates to "a proposed or pending acquisition or disposition of land by the municipality or local board", the other about "labour relations or employee negotiations".
The meetings will be held back-to-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.
