The meeting was broadcasted live on CTV 15 and has been re-broadcasted several times since. The meeting involved an open house format, welcome/introduction, a brief presentation, and a question and answer session.

Some of these documents include: a copy of the presentation, handouts, sign in sheet, list of property owners who spoke at the meeting and a summary of issues and questions that were posed.
