The Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ polled 344 readers and asked the question: Do you want to see the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵWalmart become a Supercentre?

The store opened at 39210, Discovery Way in town in 2006 after agreeing not to sell perishables such as fresh meat, fish or produce.

However, the company has now applied to amend the zoning, which would remove these restrictions around the sale of fresh goods.

According to the municipality, no date has been set for bringing Walmart's applications before council and no feedback from the public has yet been received.

The poll ran from 8/7/2024 to 8/24/2024. Of the 344 votes, we can determine that 147 are from within the community. The full results are as follows:

Yes 72.79% local, 64.53% total    
No 20.41% local, 27.33% total    
Maybe 6.80% local, 8.14% total
