Sure, they don't need to be as vocal since they don't need convincing on what they believe is a good idea, and don't mind the price tag. But I don't believe the yes side has enough to be a majority.
It's not a glitz and glamour bid. It's an opportunity to get funding for a couple new facilities, and renovate facilities that need it all at once. On the side, get a fun world stage event for a couple weeks to go along with it. It's not sexy enough for the total price tag all parties are putting in to convince majority of people to support it.
Unless IOC and/or CSEC comes in last minute with news that can swing votes, I'd predict the 'no' votes would be the majority be a decent amount.
