Greater Sudbury area municipalities have joined various other jurisdictions and elected official in opposing proposed changes to Northern Ontario’s federal ridings
The Sudbury East Municipal Association’s membership has unanimously approved a resolution opposing a proposed changes to federal electoral boundaries.
All members of SEMA are currently in the Nickel Belt federal riding, which would become Manitoulin-Nickel Belt under the proposed changes. It would technically no longer be a belt around the Sudbury riding. The riding would stretch from the U.S. border east to encompass Manitoulin Island and the French River region as far east as Noelville, as well as Espanola and Elliot Lake.
Northern Ontario at large would wind up losing one riding. A map of the proposed changes is available by clicking here. Greater Sudbury city council was near-unanimous in pushing against the proposed changes earlier this month, minus a lone “no” vote from Ward 2 Coun. Michael Vagnin, who abstained from voting without explanation. Included in their direction was a motion by Ward 12 Coun. Joscelyne Landry-Altmann for the city to publicly advertise how residents can speak against the proposed changes, which the city has subsequently done.
