It has been brought to my attention that you were reviewing and have proposed new boundaries and electoral district changes. I strongly wish to share my feedback that my interests do not align with the new proposed riding of Gananoque-Brockville-Prescott. I chose to live in Kingston for a reason, and should have reasonable expectation that my representation would be in Kingston. Since the last redistribution, we have had no representation. Candidates in the last election didn't even come to my area in Kingston north (Glenburnie) to campaign. That redistribution made no sense, and the proposed makes less sense as my interests align more with Kingston and the Islands:

1. My mailing address is Kingston, Ontario
2. My municipal electoral boundary/representation is Kingston, Ontario
3. I pay property taxes to the Corporation of the City of Kingston
4. My social, cultural, and economic activity all centers around Kingston (not Gananoque, Brockville, or Prescott)
5. The average distance to the constituency office would be 10 km in Kingston versus 90 km in Brockville. This makes representation less accessible on many levels.

Please consider this as my written submission on the proposed boundaries and electoral district changes. I am very passionate about this not happening and that we be re-aligned with Kingston and the Islands, so please confirm receipt of my submission, and next steps in the process.

Thank you,

Terri Flindall
