not that it really matters much as there is basically Zero change other then one small part of Point Douglas going to St James... one bewildering small confusing shape of a change that is just going to make it that much harder for people in that area to attempt to figure out whom they are voting for.

It looks like they want to expand to council by 2 wards for 2014 elections.
The Commission also recommends as follows:
1) That City Council undertake a major review of neighbourhoods prior to the end of 2012 which would provide input for the next Wards Boundaries Commission. The study should include an examination of expected future growth in the City and its likely location.
2) That City Council increase the size of City Council by 2 additional wards at least 18 months prior to the date of the 2014 general election. Such a decision by Council would trigger a new Wards Boundaries Commission, which would be able to utilize the 2011 census data for its work.

They had the capacity to do that for this election. something I reminded them of in hmm.. 2007? But the will was just not there for it to proceed.

My part of PD got absorbed in Lazarstinko's ward and I wished that change had never occurred.....why? - I do not know....please bring us back into our ward???? Harry Lazarskinko is not motivated to work for my community....too busy sucking up to the old farts in the Scotia drive area.

There are a number of the wards that just dont make any sense at all. There is supposed to be an attempt to have Wards at least somewhat be represented by "historical community boundaries"

but just look at point douglas.... It freakin splits north and south point douglas up... and meanders all the way over to Tyndall park, cuttling large swaths through "historical community boundaries"

I have a feeling that the new new ward boundaries (circa 2014)will bring north and south PD, the exchange and downtown together into a new ward.

That would make far more sense which is why it will probably not happen!

Scotia Street, not Drive.
