VICTORIA — British Columbia's Electoral Boundaries Commission has released a preliminary report that recommends the creation of six new electoral districts, which would bring the total number of seats in the legislature to 93.
The commission says the proposed ridings would be in"areas of rapid population growth," specifically Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley, Surrey and Kelowna, along with Langford on Vancouver Island.
Iyer says members of the commission travelled throughout the province for input on electoral boundaries, holding 50 public meetings in 43 communities and receiving more than 1,300 submissions before they began deliberating.
