News Tidbits:

The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board has accepted a donation of $6,250 from the membership of Local 2251 of the United Steelworkers (USW) for the board’s breakfast program. This donation will be used for this program at all of the board’s nineteen schools, including Wawa.

Bears are on the roam in Wawa. Please make sure that you have nothing available for them to eat, as they are foraging everywhere due to the short blueberry season this year. For personal protection, Young’s General Store does have bear bangers and bear spray back in stock.
