last redistribution proposal I think It was better than this one personally Mr Reed told The Herald The other one would have put my homo more In the centre and would have had a larger rural area The proposals of the Commission have not passed the provincial legislature and until they do the new ridings won be in place It unlikely the new ridings will be in until after next year provincial election Mr Reed said The resident preferred the Commissions earlier proposal to create a Peel riding which joined Halton Hills with part of Its neighboring region The Commission backed off from it when and Peel regions objected requesting that electoral districts be kept within the bounds of each region I will regret losing the old Township of Nossagaweya because there was a very large base of support there Mr Reed said The riding has a new area in northern end which is mostly semi rural That area made up part of Jim Snow ta Progressive Conservative riding regional chairman and Progressive- Conservative candidate for the riding Peter said he was pleased that the Commission had kept the new electoral districts within the boundaries of the region I would have preferred the north stay

two Burlington based districts the Commls report said The ridings split regional had preferred kept the on municipalities intact as much as possible It created an electoral district made up of the towns of Hills and Milton in the north With a population of this rid was to be called Halton North In the souih there were to be the ridings of Oakviilc Burlington and Burlington West However the on found hat In keep ing the regional dories it had to divide up Ha ton municipalities to avoid population Imbalances The Commission proposed the more urbanized part of Oak vlllc south of the Queen Elizabeth Way plus the southeasterly portion of Burlington make up the riding of South population The remainder of the heavily urbanized per of Burlington south of Highway and the Queen Elizabeth Way is to be called Burlington South population G6 West on comprises the westerly portion of Mill on and the northern end or Burlington The three provincial ridings now in the region are Burlington
