Trustee Wards - Upcoming Boundary Adjustments - 2018
The Board approved changes to the electoral zone boundaries for Zones 7 and 11. The community will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the changes. The final step in changes to zone boundaries is done through a submission to the Ministry by March 28, 2018.

The changes would decrease the size of Zone 7 and increase the size of Zone 11. The new electoral boundaries would be in place for “Municipal Election 2018” which will be held on October 22, 2018. If you have comments or questions on these changes please send them to [email protected]. More information can be found here .
