The debate on the South Cariboo recreation Expansion will come to an end tomorrow with the referendum vote.
Total cost for the expansion project is 14.2 million dollars. The referendum, if passed will allow the Cariboo Regional District to borrow ten million of the cost. The rest would be raised through grants and corporate donations.
The expansion plans include a walking track, an indoor artificial grass field, a gymnasium, along with dressing rooms and multipurpose spaces.
The expansion has been a controversial subject in the area, with some area residents still in favour of a pool, or repurposing the former Junior High school as a community center
Polling stations are located at the District of 100 Mile House council chambers, the 108 Mile elementary School, Forest Grove Community Hall, and the Lone Butte Community hall. The polls open at 8 am and close at 8 pm.
