WAWA, ON – Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Michael Mantha was quick to react when he heard constituents in Wawa had been devastated by flooding on the outskirts of their community, on Highway 17 and on many important roadways in the area including the route between Wawa and neighbouring Michipicoten First Nation whose residents found themselves unable to leave their community.
