The votes are in for the Local Government Election and Community Opinion Vote.

VIEW RESULTS

During the October Local Government Election, eligible Langley City voters had the opportunity to participate in a separate, non-binding Community Opinion Vote on whether the City should continue planning for two proposed facility expansions for:

Al Anderson Memorial Pool to provide year-round access
Timms Community Centre combined with a new Performing Arts and Cultural Centre

Community Opinion Vote ballots cast

4,998 Community Opinion Vote ballots were cast, representing 22.9% of voters.

What happens after the vote?

The vote results will be used to help Council understand community views before making decisions about whether to continue planning the proposed projects.

Unlike a referendum, the Community Opinion Vote is non-binding, meaning it does not determine an outcome or require Council to take a specific action.

If Council decides to proceed with further planning and to move forward with one or both proposed projects and borrowing is required, a separate binding approval process would be required before the project(s) could proceed. This approval would be obtained through either an Alternative Approval Process (AAP) or a referendum.
