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.
