A Wawa motel owner is calling on the Wawa Municipal Council to reconsider their decision after approving a temporary rezoning request to accommodate a work camp on Pinewood Drive.
The work camp - with trailers - will house up to 170 people for at least three years during work projects for Alamos Gold outside Dubreuilville.
Outdoorsman Motel owner Ray Valliant says he's still hoping that could change.
A letter to Council signed by hotels, motels, restaurants, and other businesses brought up concerns about the lack of economic benefit to such a decision.
Valliant expands on those concerns.
Valliant says the loss won't just be for businesses.
While a lack of "capacity" from local hotels was cited as a reason for the proposed work camp, Valliant pushes back on that - particularly for a majority of the year.
