The RDEK is hosting a public information session ahead of a vote in the Edgewater and Spur Valley area.
Residents will be voting on a proposed new commercial space service.
“The community of Edgewater has been advocating that the RDEK find a way to find a new location for the post office and providing a space has been a Board priority since an assessment by a structural engineer on the current post office building determined that there is significant deterioration and signs of structural distress,” said Electoral Area G Director Roberta Schnider.
“The process has proven to be quite complex; however, following lengthy discussions with the Province to find a path forward, the RDEK is now working to establish the Edgewater Commercial Space Service, provided the vote is in favour of proceeding.”
So residents have a better understanding of what they’re voting on, a public information session will take place on Oct. 28 at the Edgewater Community Hall at 7 p.m.
Our goal is to ensure eligible electors have all the information they need to make an informed decision on voting day. This meeting will be an excellent source of information and I’m hoping to see a strong turnout,” added Schnider.
The vote is scheduled to take place on Nov. 22 with advanced voting starting on Nov. 12.
