As part of its mandate, the Governance Committee is responsible for making a recommendation to the Minister of Community Development on whether or not to proceed to referendum on the question of incorporating Cultus Lake Park into the City of Chilliwack. Any decision to change the Park's governance would only be made as the result of a referendum involving Cultus Lake Park electors.
The Governance Committee is expected to base its recommendation on the results of its Impact Analysis, as well as on the feedback it receives during its Public Information Program. Accordingly, the Committee will not be in a position to make a recommendation until after Impact Analysis and Pubic Information Program have been completed.
If the Committee decides to recommend that a referendum be held, and if the Minister accepts the Committee's recommendation, the Minister will develop the specific referendum question that Cultus Lake Park electors will be asked to answer. That question, along with details on voter eligibility, voting times and voting locations, will be posted on this website at the appropriate time.
