Attached is my opposition to changing the Electoral Boundary of my area to Brockville/etc. It must be part Of Kingston.

To whom it may concern

I am a 76 year old, living in a mother in law suite on Bur Brook Rd/Sydenham Rd, Kingston. I am active and enjoy many activities offered by the Kingston Senior Centre on Francis St. over the last 6 years. I do my shopping on Princess St and Division St, which is 8 minutes away, by car. My pharmacy is also within this area for my medication renewals and vaccines.

I received my Spiritual guidance from the Religious Community at St. James Anglican Church on Union Street, Kingston. I have an annual subscription to Kingston Symphony Orchestra at the Isabel Bader centre, King St, Kingston. My family Doctor is at Queen's Family Health and I attend the Hip & Knee Clinic at Hotel Dieu Hospital, Brock St, Kingston.

Kingston has all the necessary support services for my Health, social/cultural and spiritual needs. It makes no sense to have this area relocated by the Electoral Boundary Commission outside of Kingston. It should be as it was Federally, in Kingston and the Islands.

As I get older, it will be very important to be close to my Family Doctor, Church Community and be able to have access to adaptive transport if needed.

I strongly advocate that my area be included in Kingston and the Islands Electoral Boundaries.

Sincerely
Judith Austin
