Preliminary Results – 150 Mile House Fire Protection Referendum

The Cariboo Regional District has released the preliminary results of the 150 Mile House Fire Protection Referendum, held to determine voter approval for borrowing funds to construct a new fire hall and purchase a replacement fire truck for the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department.

The referendum included two separate questions:


1. Borrowing for Fire Hall Construction – to authorize long-term borrowing for the design and construction of a new fire hall to replace the existing facility.
2. Borrowing for Fire Engine Purchase – to authorize borrowing for the purchase of a new fire truck, with repayment over a ten-year term rather than five.

Official results will be declared on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, following verification by the Chief Election Officer.

Voters in the 150 Mile House Fire Protection Service Area have approved both referendum questions—supporting borrowing for the construction of a new fire hall and the purchase of a new fire truck.
