News Tidbits:

• It was great news to see the hard work that Municipal employees had done to enhance Wawa’s beaches. On June 14th, the beaches were open, the docks installed, a volleyball net put up, and best of all a new floating raft for Dr. Rose’s Beach. Sadly, not even two weeks later, vandals have struck and the facilities at Lion’s Beach suffered. The ladies’ side needed to be cleared up, but the men’s will be closed until further notice. SE OPP has been notified – and if you have any tips, please call them.
• The Great Northern Ontario Roadshow, presented by Science North, is in Manitouwadge, today, Saturday, June 25.
