PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Electoral Boundaries Commission made a stop in Prince George on Monday, listening to submissions from the public regarding the possibility of redrawing electoral boundaries.

At the start of the year, the Electoral Boundaries Commission hosted several in-person public meetings around the province before finally arriving in Prince George and listening to residents.

The Government of B.C. appointed Justice Nitya Iyer of the Supreme Court of BC as Chair of the three-person panel. The commission is independent and non-partisan and seeks to connect with those who want to submit proposals and concerns.

According to Justice Nitya Iyer, Once the hearings are done, the Commission will make proposals to the Legislative Assembly on the area, boundaries, and names of electoral districts for the next two provincial general elections.

MLA for Cariboo North Coralee Oakes says she is concerned about what that will mean for her riding and all residents in BC, and not having someone who understands the network, the people and the communities on the ground is going to have an impact on all British Columbians

There are currently 87 districts in the province, including Prince George-Mackenzie, and the Commission may recommend up to 93 electoral districts. The Commission wants to hear from British Columbians before publishing its preliminary and final reports.

Individuals and organizations can send us written submissions directly to info@bcebc.ca or PO Box 9275 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9J6.
