Redraw redrawn fed riding line, NORTH ‘VANCOUVER District Council decided Monday that regional connections make more sense than Tepresentation by popula- tion when it comes to the creation of federal ridings.

The FEBCBC recently proposed , that the new riding of Indian Arm — Coquitlam would take the Seymour River as its western boundary... --According to Harris, the bound- ary leaves. East Seymour. residents “ “disenfranchised” and “attached to Coquitlam as: some sort’ of appendage that makes no geographi- the Greater: NVD says cal sense.” The riding shift also places the western portion of the dis- trict, formerly part of the federal rid- ing of West Vancouver-Howe Sound, in the new riding of North Vancouver. Federal riding readjustments occur after every decennial census (o reflect changes in population. Each of B.C.'s 34 federal seats is - intended to contain a quotient of 96,500 people. Under the proposals: H the newly named West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast riding would represent 100,265 residents; North Vancouver — 95,800; Indian Arm-Coquitlam —97,212. If the residents of East Seymour were added back into the North Vancouver riding, the total popula- ~ tion would be within 25% of the quotient, and therefore allowable. The FEBCBC public hearing process is set for the Lower Mainland 10 a.m., Monday, June 6, at the Hotel Georgia in Vancouver. : To speak write to: The Secretary, Terry Julian, Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, 777 Hornby St., Vancouver, V6Z 1S4. 55% off custom plinds until May 28th we've dropped everything for our 10th Anniversary Sate.
