Resident Survey Now Closed

After a participation window from September 8 to October 28, both online here on Voices & Choices and in print via our Municipal Insight newsletter, the Governance & Electoral Boundary Review Resident Survey is now closed. As noted, the intent of the Resident Survey was to gather a representative sampling of electors' thoughts on the effectiveness and efficiency of the existing governance structure and of the proposed adjustments to polling district boundaries.

The next step is for staff to bring a report to Council at its November 24, 2022 meeting. This report will outline what we heard from community consultation and include draft recommendations concerning the number and boundaries of polling districts in the municipality, their fairness and reasonableness, and the number of councillors. Council's review and discussion of this draft report will inform the formal application and study to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board.
