Re: Readjustment of Federal Electoral Boundaries

Alderman Traboulay has asked that we bring to Council's attention the
proposal of the Electoral Boundaries Commission to revise the Electoral
Boundaries in British Columbia. A photocopy of the six page advertisement
that appeared in various newspapers on Tuesday, July 8th, 1975 is attached.

Alderman Traboulay has noted the proposal to create a new riding (to be
called "Fraser Valley North") and Council will note that this new riding
will consist of the Dewdney-Alouette Regional District, a portion of the
Fraser-Cheam Regional District and the Cities of Port Coquitlam and Port
Moody along with a section of the District of Coquitlam and a large area
of unorganized territory to the North. Alderman Traboulay has suggested
that this proposal be amended so that Fraser Valley North will only
constitute that area contained within School District # 43.

Although the formal Hearing will not be heid in Vancouver :until October

23rd, 24th and 25th, 1975 it is required that any person desiring to

make a representation give notice within 23 days from the date of publication
of the advertisement, i.e. July 3lst, 1975 and it is our understanding

that Alderman Traboulay intends to propose the following resolution:

“That the City Clerk be instructed to give notice in accordance with
Section 17(4) of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act that the City
intends to make a representation with respect to the-Electoral Boundary
readjustment now underway in the Province of British Columbia to the
effect that the proposed riding of Fraser Valley North should only
include the area encompassed by School District #43."
