Jones-Ivey blames possible "misunderstandings" on Zoom meeting format
She continued: "I really would like to see this happen for them. The Kai Family has been in the community for years and they have also been developing here for quite a few years and because we are using Zoom to communicate sometimes I believe there is a lot of lost communication that goes on that could have possibly contributed to the misunderstanding that they would like to have clarified. So, for that reason, I would like to have this reconsideration considered and passed by council. We can have them back and listen to their concerns.”
