MP proposes North Island-Powell River be renamed to North Island-qathet
A North Island politician is calling for the name of her riding to be renamed to more accurately reflect the area.
On Thursday, Rachel Blaney, the MP for the riding, filed an objection to the riding’s current name of “North Island-Powell River” and has requested a change to “North Island-qathet.” The move comes following the Boundary Commission’s proposal to modify electoral districts across British Columbia. Since then, there’s been an increase in attention on the North Island-Powell River riding.“The proposed name change is much more reflective of the entire riding,” Blaney says. “While Powell River is only one city is a large area, qathet is the name of the regional district, so encompasses a much larger, more representative area.
