2022 Municipal Electoral Boundary Review Public Consultation

Municipal Government Act of Nova Scotia requires that in 2022, every municipality shall conduct a study of the number and boundaries of polling districts in the municipality, their fairness and reasonableness and the number of councillors.

On February 22, 2022, Council authorized staff to prepare three preliminary options for consideration: a six member councillor option, a seven member councillor option, and an eight member councillor option. The issue of the Mayor is mandatory and therefore excluded from the process. The current council number is seven.

The Municipality plans to hold two public consultation sessions to obtain public feedback on Council’s proposed 7 councillor option, as well as two other options of 6 councillors and 8 councillors. The exact boundaries of each polling district will be completed after public consultation however; a geographical representation of each proposal will be available at the public meetings.

Details of all three options are available on our website at www.regionofqueens.com. Those unable to attend a public meeting are encouraged to provide feedback in the form on our website link.
