List of in-camera minutes relating to Xinyi

We would like to thank the residents of Stratford, whose generous contributions funded the research into inappropriate in-camera discussions. We include everything we have received so far, although some are heavily redacted.  Also, some of the records we received were not items we asked for. Some documents and minutes that should have been made public have not been supplied at all.  It is regrettable that these documents were not made available before the 2022 municipal election, as requested.
