Feds propose

North Shore

electoral boundary change

PROPOSED CHANGES ta BoCos tedetal electoral boundaries would create two new electoral districts on the North Shore,

If the changes are adopted, the Burnaby segment of the present North Vancouver-Burnaby riding, cur- rently held by MP Chuck Cook, would be removed.

The North Shore would then be split into a North Vancouver riding, bounded by Indian Arm in the cast and the Capilano River in the west, and a Capilano- Howe Sound riding that would include the rest of the North Shore and extend to the Sunshine Coust.

Electoral boundaries commissioner David Coell said Wednesday the prope-cd changes to the North Shore boundaries are ‘‘based purely on numbers.”’

He said the boundaries are divided on the basis of

an electoral quotient which divides the current B.C. population of 2,744,467 into 32 electoral districts. The ideal population per riding then is 85,765. Population in the Capilano-Howe Sound district would be 78,564, while population in the North Van-

cousver fding would be 88.273,

The Botnaby riding would then have a populatian of SS 34].

Coell said the new North Shore tidings were the same ds those proposed by the YS federal electoral boundaries commission,

B.C... which currently sends 28 MPs to the 282- member Commons, would get four new MPs under the preposed revisions,

The commission for revision of federal electoral boundaries has scheduled public hearings Oct. 27 to Nov. 13.

Those hearings will begin in Victoria and conclude in Prince George.

The Vancouver hearing is scheduled to be held at the Hotel Georgia Nov, 12 at lOa.m.

Under current laws, a one-year waiting period must follow the adoption of new boundaries and the time they can be usec in an election.

Soell saia tie decision on the changes would be mace followitg all the scheduled hearings.
