Rickford Pleased with Riding Changes

Some minor changes are being proposed for the Kenora Riding.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission is recommending Lake of the Woods Township be added and taken out of the Thunder Bay-Atikokan Riding.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says he has no problem with the changes and is relieved that northern Ontario will be keeping its 10 ridings in the House of Commons.

Local residents can comment on the proposed boundary changes at public hearings slated for October 9th in Kenora.
