INTRODUCTION

On November 4, 2023, eligible voters in Summerland participated in a referendum for the proposed Summerland Recreation Centre – a new multi-purpose recreation facility which was intended to replace the Summerland Aquatic & Fitness Centre.

A final determination of the results of the referendum was conducted by the Chief Election Officer on November 8, 2023, which confirmed that 4625 votes were cast, with 2682 votes (58%) against the referendum question, meaning the District will not proceed with borrowing up to $50 million to construct a new Summerland Recreation Centre.

In the coming months, Council will have discussions on next steps related to recreation services in Summerland. For more information and updates on those discussions, please visit the District of Summerland website at www.summerland.ca/recreationcentre.
