These changes impact every riding from east to west.
This new riding would take in part of Greater Sudbury, Elliot Lake, and Manitoulin Island. The new proposed riding will essentially eliminate Nickel Belt as we know it and will be renamed Nickel Belt-Manitoulin. To cancel such a riding would significantly expand other riding boundaries such as that of Nickel Belt. For those who may not be familiar with the proposed changes, be aware that the Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing riding’s existence is being threatened. I strongly encourage residents to continue to make their opinion known.Įliminating a riding in Northern Ontario is truly a devastating blow to democracy in the North.
I want to sincerely thank all area municipal leaders, chiefs, the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities (FONOM), the Sudbury East Municipal Association (SEMA), the regional chambers of commerce, as well as numerous organizations and individuals for opposing these changes. This means that all residents of Northern Ontario now have additional time to comment on the removal of a riding in the region. Thanks to an influx of feedback, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission has announced they have extended the written submission period for federal boundary changes until Oct. The time is now to make your voice heard about Northern Ontario federal boundary changes.
