Appletree Dentistry has solicited BIA businesses requesting to close King Ave. for their
Christmas Market. Valentine moved that the BIA will send a letter to the Municipality,
cc'ing Appletree stating we would not object to a road closure along Mill St N. but have
concerns with a closure along King Ave. Our concern is that King Ave, is expected to be
closed two other days that week for BIA events. Seconded by Ann Harley.
