The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. has redrawn the proposed federal riding for MissionMatsqui, which will expand south into Abbotsford, and drop Pitt Meadows and most of Maple Ridge. Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon will be one of the six new ridings up for grabs the next time Prime Minister Stephen Harper drops the writ. According to the commission, significant growth in those suburban areas prompted the proposed change. Most of northern Abbotsford would be in the riding, including Sumas Mountain east from the Vedder River to Atkinson Road, Lower Sumas Mountain Road, north along Sumas Way, then continuing west along MacClure Road to Mt. Lehman Road. The remainder of the city would be linked with Abbotsford-Sumas in another electoral riding. The population for Mission-Matsqui is estimated to be
Abbotsford and Mission federal riding boundaries are likely to change.
100,414, roughly within the ideal limit of 105,000 people per riding. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia submitted its report that redraws the province’s federal electoral map to the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada and was tabled in the House of Commons on Jan. 28. The proposed
Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon riding would include 90,871 residents encompassing the districts of Mission and Kent and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs. The new riding would then stretch north along the border of Hope and expands to encompass the villages of Ashcroft, Lytton and Cache Creek. Its western border includes sec-
tions of Garibaldi Provincial Park. To the south, the riding will include everything northeast of Abbotsford running along Maclure Road and across the Lower Sumas Mountain Road. The commission was set up last February to reconfigure B.C.’s existing 36 federal electoral districts due to population increases.
