Final Report of the BC Electoral Boundary Commission released!

The final report of the BC Electoral Boundary Commission was tabled in the BC Legislature yesterday afternoon. It calls for 6 new ridings on top of the existing 87 ridings for a new 93 member BC Legislature

Locally -- it is proposed that a new riding to be called "Prince George-North Cariboo" would include the area of College Heights south of Highway 16 and Domano Boulevard in the City of Prince George as well as Quesnel/Williams Lake and surrounding rural areas while "Cariboo-Chilcotin" would retain its' current area as well as now being as far south as Clinton. 

The BC Legislature will have to approve the recommendations to establish all 93 proposed provincial electoral districts. If approved later this year, provincial legislation would then follow to formally establish the new 93 MLA electoral districts' in time for the October 2024 BC General Election...
