Mayor and Council
\nMunicipality of Wawa<\/p>\n
I was at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre yesterday picking up cigarette butts at the entrance to make the area more presentable.\u00a0 On Thanksgiving, I picked up a different bag of butts and \u201cpresented\u201d the same to Maury O\u2019Neill with a note to please put out a container for the litterbugs (smokers) to deposit their waste.<\/p>\n
As of yesterday, no container.<\/p>\n
Remembrance Day will be upon us very soon, and the mess we picked up is very disrespectful.\u00a0 What does one have to do get some positive action instead of being ignored?<\/p>\n
If smokers want to ruin their health, that is their choice, it is a free country, but please don\u2019t allow them to mess up the environment for the rest of us.<\/p>\n
An interesting fact we discovered:\u00a0 95% of the butts we picked up were cigarettes purchased at the Reserve.<\/p>\n
We have a beautiful Community Centre and Cenotaph, why do we have to see this disgraceful garbage.<\/p>\n
Note:\u00a0 Tossing cigarette butts is still LITTERING!<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
