Councillor Robert Bell said , "I've had quite a bit of flack from our people in the area wanting to use the Hensall site." Reeve Knight said quite a number of Tuckersmith residents do use the facility and that they haven't been turned away. Mr. Knight said that Usborne Township residents in the Hensall area use the Hensall agreed to share facilities if Hensall would accept payment on the basis of the number using it and this was said to be satisfactory.

Reeve Knight agreed that he was in favour of the county recreation system too. Councillor Robert Bell said with three towns it is difficult to give to all three arenas because, "We have one recreation centre in our own township we are responsible for." Mr. Knight invited Tuckersmith to consider appointing someone to sit on the Hensall Recreation Board.
