The AAA members started meeting in the Legion quarters of the Community Hall located at 12 Kenney St, and when the renovations started, they moved their meetings to the town hall in Council Chambers on Thursday evenings. Once the renovations were completed, they returned to 12 Kenney St meeting in a side room off the main hall, then the Legion members decided to hold a crib tournament on Thursday evenings to raise money for their organization and the AAA members found themselves with no place to meet. Ms Ross asked if Council would be willing to consider a safe uninterrupted space in which they could hold their meetings.
At this point Councillor Link declared a conflict of interest and left the meeting.
