Written by 107.5 Kiss FM Wednesday, 10 April 2013 14:13 
Regional District staff have put a wrap on Greater Vernon's Sports Facility referendum by releasing the official results. There were no changes from the unofficial totals Saturday night, with 52% voting Yes to borrow 7.5 million dollars for a track and field venue next to Okanagan College. RDNO also released the break-outs for the seven polling or advance stations, and while residents could vote at any of the sites, there were two trends. 60 percent of the 1,900 advance voters at the Schubert Centre in Vernon were opposed, while 63 percent of the people who cast ballots at Coldstream Elementary voted Yes. The closest polling station was Ellison Elementary where the margin of support was 33 votes, 607 to 574.
