Mayor Jackson is scheduled to make a presentation to the Commission in September 2012.' II Drawing New Boundaries By law, after every 1O-year census is conducted, Canada's electoral boundaries are reviSed to reflect shifts and growth in the population. Based on a formula in the Constitution, the number of electoral districts in British Columbia is increasing by 6 to reach 42 . Your electoral district - which is where you live and vote for your member of Parliament - may change as a result of the redistribution process. The Federal Electoral· Boundaries Commission for British Columbia is one of 10 independent commissions created by Parliament to determine the new boundaries of Canada's federal electoral districts. In consultation with the public, the commission aims to draw boundaries so that the population numbers in the province's districtl:; are as close to each other as reasonably posSible, whilefactqring in communities of interestoridentity,historical . pattl:)nis alldg~ographic size. .. The British C~lumbia CommisSionis proposing the boundaries and electoral district namesshoWriin these pages for residents to consider. Canada's Electoral Map Is Changing Your Opinion Matters The British Columbia Commission is holding public hearings to gather opinions on the proposed boundaries and electoral district names. These hearings are your opportunity to participate in the process of redrawing the electoral map. If you wish to make a presentation at a hearing, you should inform the commission in writing by August 30, 2012. Your notice of presentatior;t should include: • your name, address and contact information • the organization you represent (if any) • the date of the public hearing that you wish to attend • a short overview of the issues you intend to address • your official language of preference, and • any accommodation needs you may have . Your written notice can be sent to the Commission Secretary at the address on the back page. Alternatively, you can fill out the Public Hearings Notice Form online at www.federal"redistribution.ca under British Columbia, Public Hearings. Canada's Electoral Map Is Changing Completing the Process The commission considers views expressed at the public hearings and then submits a report to the House of Commons, where a committee will study it and members of Parliament may provide feedback. The commission will review the feedback from members of Parliament and make the final decisions on where the new boundaries will lie. The new boundaries will likely take effect for a general election held in 2015. Need MOl'e Details?
