“If you live in some areas in College Heights, in the Southridge area, for example, you might think that you’re going into the ballot box on Election Day and you’re going to vote for Shirley Bond, say, and whoever is running against her. But you’re actually might be voting for an MLA or people that live in Quesnel.”

For many years Prince George DID have three MLAs with Prince George-Omineca, which included Vanderhoof. That changed in the early two thousands. The Commission’s recommendations include a proposal to create six additional electoral districts in areas of rapid population growth, bringing the total number of provincial ridings to 93 from the current 87. Four new ridings were added to the Lower Mainland, one to the Island and sixth in the Okanagan.

“So while we’re not losing any ridings, we are effectively losing political power. There will be more MLAs, more power in the Lower Mainland. That’s that many more seats in Victoria, you know that many more voting members,’ says Beach.

It is now the responsibility of the Legislature to decide whether to accept all, some or none of the Commission’s recommendations.
