Community passion on display at Ward 5 neighbourhood meeting
Ward 5 residents made sure their voices were heard at their community meeting on Tuesday night.
The Crescent Heights Community Club Rink’s lobby was filled, and more chairs had to be provided to accommodate the large turnout.
The largest concern was the 7/11 convenience store at the corner of Branion Dr. and 6th Ave. E.
Many claimed it’s because the store is open 24/7, drawing a particular late-night crowd. They claimed there was more loitering, public disturbance, looting, vandalism and petty theft around the 7/11 and in the surrounding area.
