No Changes Proposed for Northern Ontario Ridings

Some good news for politicians and voters in northern Ontario.

No changes are being proposed for the 10 federal ridings in the region by the federal electoral boundaries commission.

However, due to an increase in population, Ontario could be getting 15 new federal electoral districts.

The Commission for Ontario is to hold public meetings this fall on a proposed new electoral map with stops planned in Kenora and Thunder Bay in early October.
