A total of 4,998 ballots were cast in the Community Opinion Vote, representing 22.9% of registered voters.

The Community Opinion Vote was non-binding and voluntary. The results provide Council with information about community views but do not approve or reject the proposed projects.

The new Mayor and Council will consider the results, along with other information, before deciding whether to direct City staff to continue planning for either or both proposed projects.

If Council directs staff to continue planning, further work would be required to assess the projects, including potential costs, funding options, technical considerations and other details. The City would share additional information with the community as it becomes available.

If borrowing is required to proceed with a project, a separate approval process would be required before the City could move forward with the borrowing.

The City will share information about Council’s consideration of the Community Opinion Vote results and any decisions about next steps through the City’s regular communication channels.

The inaugural meeting for incoming council will take place Monday, November 2 at 7:00 p.m.
