Federal Riding Redistribution

Every ten years the federal government has to reassess the ridings to ensure appropriate representation. The last census was the data used to reassess the populations and as a result the riding boundaries have changed.

Change in Kindersley will be significant. We will no longer have the Honourable Gerry Ritz as our MP and as a result we will no longer be in same riding as North Battelford and Lloydminster in Battlefords-lloydminster. Instead we will be joining the riding in the southwest; Cypress Hills-Grasslands represented by David Anderson. Because of this change Kindersley will be the second largest community in the redrawn riding.

Last week I met David Anderson, we were guest speakers at the same event,  and I am looking forward to working with David. Mr. Anderson will be visiting Kindersley soon and David and I have agreed to meet in the near future.
