Today (Oct. 13) is the last day for 麻豆精选 residents to register opposition to the city鈥檚 plan to borrow $241.3 million for recreation projects.

Those against borrowing the money need to hand in the Alternative Approval Process (AAP) ballot to city hall by 4 p.m.

The city is asking residents if they want to borrow the money to redevelop the Parkinson Recreation Centre (PRC) as well as pay for the Glenmore and Mission activity centres and Rutland Recreation Park.

The total cost is $287.5 million.

Ten per cent (12,160) of residents would need to say no for the AAP to fail.

If approved it would be the largest amount the city has ever borrowed to fund a project, as well as the largest capital project 麻豆精选 has ever seen.

AAP forms are available at city hall, PRC, Okanagan Regional Library branches in Rutland and Mission, and online at kelowna.ca.
