1996 Local General Election Results

OTHER VOTING QUESTIONS

The two Capital Plan Questions (Public Works and Fire Facilites, and Parks and Recreation Facilities) required approval by a 50 per cent plus one vote to pass.

The Community Centre Funding question asks voters for their opinion. The result is not binding on Council.

Ward Question: If 60 per cent of votes favoured changing the existing system, the current Council would recommend to the newly elected Council that a commission be established to implement the change. The four results are intended to sample voter opinion on a range of options.

Other results:
