Voters in the City of Parksville, Town of Qualicum Beach and Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) Electoral Areas (EA) E, F, G and H were asked to vote on whether the RDN could borrow up to $30 million to expand Ravensong Aquatic Centre in Qualicum Beach.
Early results released by the RDN indicated 2,877 people voted “yes,” while 4,487 said “no” to borrowing the funds to expand the centre.
