The Corporation of the City of Temiskaming Shores Regular Council Meeting
Tuesday, September 20, 2022 Resolution Electoral Boundary Redistribution
Resolution No. 2022-376
Moved by: Councillor Laferriere Seconded by: Councillor McArthur
Whereas the City of Temiskaming Shores has been represented by the Member of Parliament for Nipissing-Timiskaming since 2003; and
Whereas the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario has proposed the elimination of one Riding in Northern Ontario and a redistribution of the remaining Electoral Ridings; and
Whereas the City of Temiskaming Shores and other municipalities in the South Temiskaming area would be part of a newly created Electoral Riding known as Cochrane-Timmins-Timiskaming; and
Whereas the population of the existing Riding of Nipissing-Timiskaming meets the population requirements to maintain the Federal Riding; and
Whereas the communities that comprise the current Electoral Riding of Nipissing-Timiskaming form a geopolitical entity that would be fragmented by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario's proposal; and
Whereas this fragmentation would diminish and reduce access to Federal representation for the residents of the City of Temiskaming Shores; and
Whereas there is potential for the Province of Ontario to adopt the Federal electoral boundaries to establish Provincial electoral boundaries, which would repeat the negative effects on Provincial representation for the people and communities in Northern Ontario; and
Whereas the ability to effectively represent diverse, small, rural communities continues to be eroded with the loss of Electoral Ridings in Northern Ontario.
Now therefore be it resolved that the Corporation of the City of Temiskaming Shores hereby petitions the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission to withdraw the proposal to eliminate a Federal Riding in Northern Ontario; and
Further that the City of Temiskaming Shores petitions the Federal Government to introduce legislation that would provide for a minimum number of guaranteed Ridings for Northern Ontario to ensure the voices of Northern and Rural Communities is not stifled; and
Further that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Temiskaming Municipal Association, the Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities, the Honourable Anthony Rota MP for Nipissing-Timiskaming, and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
