Posted: November 21, 2005

(November 21, 2005) We estimate that between 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 adults voted. This is a tremendous turnout for a citizen-called plebiscite and shows keen community interest in this issue. Monique Smith, Liberal MPP won her seat in the intire riding of NIpissing (an area considerable larger that that covered by the plebiscite) by approximately 16,000 votes.
