A motion was referred to the Finance Committee with direction to explore making a donation to a Veteran’s Association that encompasses all Alberta.

The President advised a letter had been received from the Alberta Federation of Labour and the Alberta Teacher's Association with respect to the Public Interest Network and a founding meeting to be held on November 8th in Edmonton.
