Dear Commissioners,

Re: Redistribution I Federal District Riding of Carleton

I write to share my perspective on your proposal for the redistribution of boundaries for the federal riding of Carleton. As the OCDSB Public School Board Trustee, I represent a large area of suburban and rural communities in the south of the City of Ottawa including the community of Findlay Creek, Ontario.

Findlay Creek is a community that is notably misplaced within the riding of Carleton. From my perspective, this community's interests are more in line with the riding of Ottawa South where families enjoy dining, entertainment, and education. While new provincial capital funding has recently been announced for the building of a second elementary school in Findlay Creek, students travel to the riding of Ottawa South to attend high school at Ridgemont High School. Ridgemont High School is in the federal riding of Ottawa South.

Therefore, I am advocating the following proposal to transfer the community of Findlay Creek to the riding of Ottawa South. Families with students that I represent in Findlay Creek should be served by all levels of government that are more aligned to their community.

Thank you for your consideration,

Kind regards,

Jennifer Jennekens
