- Today is “Hope Air Day”. Since 1986, Hope Air (then Mission Air Transportation Network) has been providing free medical travel programs to ensure Ontarians in need can access medical travel at no cost. Wawa-news had the opportunity to fly with Michael Hogan, a volunteer private pilot who has flown a number of times into Wawa and other Northern Ontario communities to bring clients to their appointments in Southern Ontario.
