...Article & Photos Continued From Front Page The men's line "Au Noir" featured a casual line of shirts, blazers and jeans. Bold tunes introduced the models, all Wawa's own, comfortable in their curves strutting their stuff amid the cheers, whistles and high-fives from the boisterous crowd. This year the runway welcomed a smattering of testosterone as Dave, Mike and Adam joined the ladies in including some men's fashion apparel and they did a great job.

A Message From MPP Michael Mantha About The Ontario Junior Citizenship Awards Dear Friends. Since I first was elected as MPP for Algoma-Manitoulin in 2011 I have never ceased to be amazed at the number of outstanding generous and gifted citizens that we have in this riding who make incredible contributions as leaders and helpers in our communities. In particular I always note the incredible contribution that the youth in our communities bring to the table. It has been my great pleasure to meet so many of these young individuals. Unfortunately it is only a small number of these special people who are actually recognized for the difference their contributions make to our communities. Today I am pleased to draw
