I think that's straying pretty far from the purpose of the AC forum. It will create a lot of bloat in an already lengthy wiki - YVR PPL A/B and C, TB, INTL, SkyTeam lounge; YYC Aspire and WS, YYZ PPL DOM, YYZ PPL INTL, LHR UA, SQ, LH, PPL, etc, etc... Plus the inevitable follow-up questions about access rules for all of those lounges. Just as the AC forum can't be the venue for discussions about all things to do with security, customs, etc at Canadian airports, it also can't be the repository for 3rd party lounges.
I'd note the wiki already has a link to the *A lounge finder that can help find alternatives at airports where there are other *A lounges.
My suggestion, if others like the idea of having an easy resource to find alternatives to AC lounges - at least those in Canada, to try to keep the thread somewhat focused - would be for someone to create a thread in the
Airport Lounges forum with a directory of 3rd party lounges in Canada. That thread could then be linked to in the wiki of the AC lounge access thread. This would also benefit those who fly other airlines - WS, PD, US carriers, etc - as opposed to confining the information to those flying AC or partners, and be of greater utility to the FT community as whole.
