I live at 613 River Ridge Drive just north of Kingston, ON. Our children go to school in Kingston, we live and work in the area and we are very upset that the proposed electoral boundaries are changing to lump us in with another area and municipality that isn't anywhere near where we are geographically.

My interests do not align with the new proposed riding of Gananoque-Brockville-Prescott and I am writing to inform you that they align more with Kingston and the Islands for all of the above reasons as well as the following:

1. I share police and fire services with Kingston.
2. My social, cultural, and economic activity all centers around Kingston (not Gananoque, Brockville, or Prescott).
3. I pay property taxes to the City of Kingston (not Gananoque, Brockville, or Prescott).
4. The average distance to the constituency office would be 10 km in Kingston versus 90 km in Brockville.

Thank you,

Ruby Pettie
