Public information booths set up prior to referendum

Public Notice

Vernon Multi-Use Facility Expansion

Information booths will be set up throughout the Greater Vernon area in preparation for the upcoming referendum on twinning Kal Tire Place taking place November 28.

“We want to provide as many ways for people to get information about the current condition of the Civic Arena, why the proposed site was selected for a new facility and what is included in the project”, said Doug Ross, Director of Recreation Services. “Information booths are being set up so that people see the conceptual drawings of the proposed facility, ask questions they may have, and get the answers they need to make an informed decision.”

Information on voting dates, locations and voter eligibility will be available. As well, booths will have background information including the Civic Arena Engineering Assessment Report and the Civic Arena Replacement Feasibility Study.
