Lorraine Hammermeister, vice presi-

restarting their operations in full, the
team is also looking to expand what

In addition to seeking further finan-
cial aid, the association is now auton-
omous from the Town of Strathmore.
Booth explained there were a num-
ber of factors that influenced the deci-
sion, including a risk of losing their sta-
