R.M. Ratepayers vote ‘No”

DUNDURN—Ratepayers in the R.M. of Dundurn overwhelmingly voted “No” in a March 28 plebiscite on the question of building a multi-purpose community complex.

Results of the plebiscite were posted March 29 on the rural municipality’s website.

They were asked: “Do you support the construction of a multi-purpose community complex?” To this question the R.M. received 268 “No” responses.

To the question: “What is your preferred location in the R.M. – North End or Close to Town of Dundurn, 19 said the North End and 38 said Close to the Town of Dundurn.

There were 16 spoilt ballots.

The vote should give council some guidance concerning voters’ thoughts on the issue of building a multi-purpose community complex in the municipality. However, according to The Municipalities Act, a question put to voters in the form of a plebiscite does not bind council to the results.

The council of the R.M. of Dundurn’s next meeting is April 10.

RM of of Dundurn to hold plebiscite on community complex

DUNDURN—Voters in the RM of Dundurn will be heading to the polls later this month to answer two questions concerning the construction of a multi-purpose community complex in the municipality.

At a special meeting Jan. 26, the RM of Dundurn council passed a bylaw to provide for a plebiscite on the question of building a recreational complex.

The two questions voters will answer are:

  • Do you support the construction of a multi-purpose community complex? Yes or No;
  • What is your preferred location in the RM? North end or Close to Town of Dundurn.

An advance poll is scheduled for March 24 with general voting taking place March 28 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the RM of Dundurn office in Dundurn. Results of the vote will be declared at 8:30 p.m. at the RM office on the 28th of March.

“In my mind, the biggest issue with the plebiscite is the wording of the questions,” said Glen Cline. He’s a resident of Division 2 in the RM.

He’s concerned that the plebiscite doesn’t give him an option to say he’s in favour of the complex if it’s built in the Town of Dundurn.

“Where is close to town? I phoned three councillors and asked them where ‘close to town’ is and no one could answer that,” Cline said.

Dundurn to extend town limits

DUNDURN—The Town of Dundurn’s boundaries are about to grow.

A request to add a 47-acre parcel of land on the east side of Highway 11 to the Town of Dundurn and remove it from the R.M. of Dundurn is being sent to Saskatchewan’s Minister of Government Relations.

In December, the Town of Dundurn gave public notice of its intentions to alter the town’s boundaries to allow for future commercial, light industrial and residential growth.

As part of the process, Dundurn needed the RM of Dundurn’s approval, which was granted Dec. 20. Then it had to give opportunity for the public to comment on the proposal.

The developer is DDD+Construction, the real estate development company that has built 10 homes so far in Sunshine Meadows, the first phase of a three-year development plan that’s underway in the town.

The third phase includes adding another 147 acres farther south on the west side of Highway 11.

This is all part of a 50-year growth plan for the town.

People had until Jan. 16 to file a written objection to the proposed boundary changes.

Dundurn administrator Eileen Prosser said none were received. At a Jan. 8 public meeting on the issue Dundurn’s town council heard from one individual concerned about the matter.
