New election wards could be coming to the province.
The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario has proposed several new changes throughout the province including here locally.
Huron-Bruce will be split up.
Huron County would now be called South Huron Shore and include all of Huron County, Kincardine, Saugeen Shores, Lambton Shores, North Middlesex, Lucan Biddulph, and Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.
Bruce County would join Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound.
Perth County would be called Perth-Wellington and include all of Perth County including Stratford and St. Marys, Minto, Howick, Mapleton, and Wellington North.
Lambton-Kent-Middlesex would be further split.
There would be a new riding called Elgin-Middlesex-Thames which would include: Aylmer, Bayham, Brooke-Alvinston, Dutton/Dunwich, Middlesex Centre, Southwest Middlesex, Strathroy-Caradoc, West Elgin, Central Elgin, some of Chatham-Kent, some of Thames Centre, Adelaide-Metcalfe, Malahide and Warwick, some of
Dawn-Euphemia, the Township of Southwold, some of the Township of Zorra, Newbury along with First Nation communities: Chippewa of the Thames, Moravian, Munsee-Delaware Nation, and Oneida.
All this will take effect if they survive 17 public consultation meetings which will run from September 26 and October 29th.
