Brittany Merrifield, Mayor of the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield
Subject: Federal Electoral Districts Redistribution 2022
Dear Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for New Brunswick,
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield applauds the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for their endeavors to achieve equitable and fair federal representation for all New Brunswickers.
With the proposed changes by the Commission, Grand Bay-Westfield would be included in the electoral district of the suggested name of Saint John – St. Croix.
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield believes that communities are better served when their Members of Parliament are representing constituents living in communities which share similar:
- Socioeconomic interests and threats
- Goals and strategies for growth
- Economic development
- Recreation facilities
- Regional cooperation/collaboration.
The Town of Grand Bay-Westfield believes the geographic proximity of our community as well as commonalities, are better aligned with the Greater Saint John Region as a whole.
Thank you, for your consideration of our views on the Federal Electoral Districts Redistribution.
Sincerely,
Brittany Merrifield Mayor Town of Grand Bay-Westfield
