A final determination of the Active Living Centre Referendum was also conducted on October 17, 2022, which resulted in a correction in total ballots cast.

*The number of votes reported for ‘Yes’ was underreported by 100 votes. The total has been updated to reflect a vote tally of 5121 for ‘Yes’. The update does not materially change the outcome of the Active Living Centre Referendum.
