I would like to ensure that the northern boundary of the Kenora-Thunder Bay-Rainy River Electoral District includes the area that is under the Redditt Local Services Board (map and legal description attached). Presently the northern portion of this area is included in the Ear Falls polling area. Ear Falls is approximately three hours away and a 300 km drive (map attached). There was a polling station five minutes away from us but not in our polling area.

We are only a half an hour away from Kenora (map attached) and would like the opportunity to vote for the candidates in this area.

We feel that our needs will be better addressed in the Kenora-Thunder Bay-Rainy River Electoral District than in the Kiiwetinoong-Mushkegowuk Electoral District.

Yours Truly
