Referendum and Plebiscite Information

  • Referendum on Drinking Water and Watershed Protection
    This referendum is being conducted to determine whether residents of Electoral Areas A, B, C, E, F, G, and H are in favour of establishing a regional function for Drinking Water and Watershed Protection. The function would enable the RDN to proceed with its Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Action Plan, a strategy for sustaining regional water resources and watershed planning. Regional Watershed Protection would also become part of the RDN's daily operations.

    • RDN Bylaw 1556 - A Bylaw to Establish a Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Service (subject to referendum)
    • RDN Action for Water - In 2008 the RDN launched the Action for Water campaign to publicize the referendum and the Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Action Plan. This section of the website includes details on the referendum, the Action Plan, media coverage, Action for Water public meetings, and frequently asked questions.

  • Referendums on fire protection within a portion of the Yellowpoint Waterloo Fire Protection Service area
    These referendums are being conducted to determine whether residents in the western portion of the Yellowpoint Waterloo Fire Protection Service area, are in favour of adopting RDN Bylaw 1549, which would authorize the Regional District to borrow up to $560,000 to purchase firefighting vehicles and equipment to be located in the firehall station on Hallberg Road. The intent is to purchase up to two vehicles as well as firefighting gear for volunteers. The amount borrowed would be repaid over a 15 year period. The firehall would be operated by the Cranberry Fire District. A second referendum question seeks residents approval to enter into an agreement with the Cranberry Fire District which would result in the transfer of ownership of the equipment, the firehall and the land at Hallberg Rd. to the Cranberry Fire District once the debt is repaid.
