Staff Report to Special Council

DATE: Monday, November 21, 2022 DEPARTMENT: Administration SUBJECT: BC Electoral Boundaries Commission – Preliminary Report

BACKGROUND: In BC, the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act requires that an electoral boundaries commission be appointed after every second provincial general election to propose changes to provincial electoral boundaries as BC population continues to change. There have been 10 electoral boundaries commissions in BC’s history since the first commission was appointed in 1965. The most recent BC Electoral Boundaries Commission (the Commission) was appointed on October 21, 2021.

Since then, the Commission held public meetings and accepted public submissions by mail, email, and over the phone, with over 1,000 submissions received from across BC to date. The initial public consultation phase ended on May 31, 2022. A preliminary report was submitted to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and made public on October 3, 2022.

The Commission is proposing six additional electoral districts for the next provincial election, from the current 87 electoral districts to a proposed 93 electoral districts. A proposal that may be of note to Langford includes the creation of the Langford Highlands electoral district as a new electoral district. Further information, including the map of the new electoral district, the context, and the rationale for the new electoral district is found in the attached preliminary report.

The Commission continues to accept public input through their website (bcebc.ca), by email (info@bcebc.ca), by phone, and by mail until 11:59pm on November 22, 2022, following which, the Commission will hold hearings for Members of Legislative Assembly and prepare a final report and recommendations for submission to the Legislative Assembly on April 3, 2023. COMMENTARY: The BC Electoral Boundaries Commission provided the City of Langford with a copy of the preliminary report for information and asked for any input that the City of Langford may have. The Commission’s proposal pertains to future provincial elections and does not have a direct impact on municipal business. Page 68 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 15 THE BC ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES COMMISSION IS APPOINTED TO REVIEW PROVINCIAL ELECTORAL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES. This system of “representation by population” is based on the idea that one person’s vote should carry the same weight as another person’s vote, regardless of where they live in the province. In order for that to happen, the population of each riding must be roughly the same. The principle of representation by population in British Columbia is intertwined with the equally important principle of “effective representation.” Effective representation recognizes that elected representatives not only sit in the legislature and vote; they also play a vital role in helping their constituents deal with government bodies. The courts have called this the ombudsperson role. Effective representation is based on the idea that everyone should have equivalent access to their elected representative, especially in the ombudsperson role, regardless of their riding’s geographic size, population density or infrastructure. Since the population of British Columbia is not static, it is necessary to periodically review the number and boundaries of B.C.’s electoral districts to continue to ensure that B.C. residents have effective representation by population. The Electoral Boundaries Commission Act (the Act) requires that British Columbia is a representative democracy. The province is divided into 87 electoral districts, or ridings. The people living in each riding vote for the person they want to represent their interests in the legislature. Page 84 of 308

16 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 1: PUBLIC MEETING IN NANAIMO, B.C. CREDIT: BC ELEC- TORAL BOUNDARIES COMMIS- SION. MARCH 22, 2022. The Act expressly references the principles of representation by population and effective representation. It gives meaning to them by setting out the process our Commission must follow and the factors it must consider. We must make proposals for changes to electoral boundaries, and we may propose up to six new electoral districts, potentially increasing the size of the Legislative Assembly from 87 to 93 Members. We may hold initial public meetings, or hearings, an electoral boundaries commission be appointed after every second provincial general election to propose changes to the area, boundaries and names of electoral districts in the province. Our Commission was appointed on October 21, 2021. We are: Justice Nitya Iyer, Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Chair) Linda Tynan, Local Government Advisor Anton Boegman, Chief Electoral Officer of British Columbia. You can read more about our backgrounds and the history of electoral boundaries commissions in B.C. in Chapter 3 of this report. Page 85 of 308

Page 86

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 17 and we must table our preliminary report of proposed changes in the legislature within one year of our appointment. After that, we must hold public hearings to receive public input on our proposals. Having considered that input, we must give current Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) an opportunity to make submissions to us. Our final report, containing any amendments we propose in light of the input we receive, must be tabled within six months of the date of our first report. It is up to the legislature to decide whether to accept all, some or none of our recommendations. Section 9 of the Act sets out the principles that we must apply. We must determine the average number of people in each electoral district, called the “electoral quotient,” by dividing the population of the province by the number of electoral districts we propose. The Act requires us to propose electoral district boundaries based on geographic considerations (including accessibility, size and physical configuration of parts of British Columbia), demographic considerations (including communities of interest, sparsity, density and rate of population growth), and means of communication and transportation. The Act says that, in most circumstances, we should propose electoral districts that have populations within +/-25% of the electoral quotient. We call this the “usual deviation range.” The Act also recognizes that it may not always be possible to propose ridings within this usual deviation range that ensure effective representation for their residents. It permits us to make proposals for electoral districts whose populations fall outside of the usual deviation range if that is “necessary to provide for effective representation.” In making that determination, we must look for special geographic considerations, including a manageable geographic size or special demographic considerations, including communities of interest. After we were appointed, we decided that we wanted to hear from the public before forming any opinions of our own about what our proposals should be. We wanted to be as accessible as possible by travelling in person to communities, holding virtual meetings and inviting submissions through our website, email and mail. During our initial consultation process, we held 50 public meetings in 43 communities and received over 1,000 individual submissions. We also gathered information about population, population growth, geogra- phy, transportation routes and internet connectivity from a number of sources. We educated ourselves about the history of electoral boundary-drawing in B.C. and Canada, reading articles and court cases on the constitutional right to vote, and speaking with academic experts and members of prior electoral boundaries commissions. Drawing on this, our public consultation and our reading of the Act, we developed principles to guide our deliberations. You can read more about the meaning of the terms used in the Act, our guiding principles and the process leading up to our proposals in Chapter 4 of this report. Chapter 5 contains our proposals and our reasons for them, as well as maps of the boundaries of each proposed electoral district and area maps showing the relationships between neighbouring electoral districts. For convenience, we have divided the province into 11 Page 86 of 308

Page 87

18 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 geographical areas: Vancouver Island, the North, Prince George and the Cariboo, the Kootenays, the Interior, Fraser Valley- Langley-Maple Ridge, Burnaby-New Westminster-Tri-Cities, Surrey, Richmond- Delta, Vancouver and North Shore-Sea to Sky-Sunshine Coast. They are listed in the order we followed for our deliberations. We propose six new electoral districts. Four are situated in the Lower Mainland where the populations of many electoral districts are currently more than 25% over the electoral quotient, and are projected to continue to grow faster than the populations of ridings in the rest of the province. These new electoral districts will be located in Burnaby, Langley, Surrey and Vancouver. On Vancouver Island, we propose an additional riding in the Langford area to ensure that the electoral districts in this fast-growing area remain within the usual deviation range. We propose a new electoral district in the Interior area, which will better balance populations in the fast- growing communities of West Kelowna, Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon. As we propose six new electoral districts and are using 2021 population statistics, the electoral quotient is 53,773 and the usual deviation range is between 40,330 and 67,216 people in each riding. We are proposing no changes to the names or boundaries of 16 electoral districts. That leaves 71 ridings whose boundaries we propose to adjust. Many of these changes are attributable to the six new electoral districts. This is because creating a new district necessarily requires boundary adjustments to other ridings in the area. Other proposed changes reflect our efforts to bring the population of as many electoral districts as possible within the usual deviation range of +/-25% of the electoral quotient. For example, in the Kootenays, two of the four current electoral districts, Columbia River- Revelstoke and Nelson-Creston, fall below the usual deviation range. Our proposed electoral boundary adjustments bring the population of both districts within the usual deviation range. At present, 17 electoral districts fall outside the usual deviation range: six are higher than the maximum and 11 are below the minimum. Our proposed changes bring all except five ridings within the range. The five ridings whose populations remain below the usual minimum are North Coast, Skeena, Bulkley Valley-Stikine, Nechako Lakes and Peace River South.1 The population of the sixth northern riding, Peace River North, is just within the usual deviation range. Although we examined options for adjusting electoral boundaries in this area, including consolidating the current six ridings into five, we are convinced that any such changes would deprive residents of these districts of effective representation. The very large geographic size of many of these ridings and their challenging terrain and weather, along with limited transportation options and poor internet connectivity, persuades us that it is truly necessary that they retain their current boundaries. That means that the weight of a vote in the province’s least populated riding will no longer be four times more than the weight of a vote in the province’s most densely populated riding. The difference will be about three to one. In our view, this is the necessary consequence of balancing the principles of representation by population Page 87 of 308

Page 88

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 19 with effective representation over a maximum of 93 ridings, as the Act requires. We also propose boundary adjustments to reduce population disparities between neighbouring ridings, creating room for the population growth that is anticipated before the next electoral boundaries commission review. Our data allows us to predict the speed of projected growth in particular areas. However, we cannot say with confidence whether growth will occur in one riding or its neighbours. By creating as much room for growth in as many ridings as possible, our proposals reduce the likelihood that riding populations will grow or shrink outside the usual deviation range in the next eight years. Our proposed changes mean that some riding names are no longer accurate or may be confusing. In such cases, we propose name changes. We have used the electoral district names that we are proposing in the riding descriptions in Chapter 5. In addition to the details of our proposals that are set out in Chapter 5, you can find an interactive map with current and proposed electoral districts on our website (bcebc.ca). With the publication of this report, we look forward to hearing the opinions of British Columbians about our proposals. There are a number of ways to share your thoughts with us. We will be conducting in-person and virtual hearings from mid- October to early November. You can also complete the survey on our website or contact us by email, phone or post. You can find more information about these options in Chapter 6 of this report. The deadline for all submissions is Novem- ber 22, 2022. After that, we will prepare our final report and recommendations. It must be submitted to the legislature on April 3, 2023. Notes 1.

24 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 sq. km. Five are smaller than 10 sq. km. Forty-five ridings have more than 60,000 residents, and 10 have fewer than 40,000. Including our Commission, there have been 10 electoral boundaries commissions in the history of British Columbia since the first was appointed in 1965. Each commis- sion is required to follow the mandate or instructions contained in its governing law. All of these laws have required that com- missions be impartial and independent. Historically, most electoral boundaries laws have given commissions a lot of discretion in proposing revised electoral boundaries. Usually, they set the maximum number of new ridings that the commission may recommend, but the commission can also choose not to recommend new ridings and simply propose revisions to existing boundaries. Since 1987, commissions have been required to determine the “electoral quotient.” This number represents the average population of an electoral district. It is obtained by dividing the population of the province by the number of Evolution of B.C.'s Electoral Boundaries A brief history of electoral districts and electoral boundaries commissions in British Columbia. British Columbia is large, covering nearly one million square kilometres. However, its population is not evenly distributed; the majority lives in the southwestern corner of the province. Although the population has grown significantly since B.C. joined Canada in 1871, the uneven distribution of its population has persisted. Over the years, different legislatures have taken different approaches to achieving fair and effective representation by population for both rural and urban British Columbians. There were only 12 electoral districts in the province’s first general election. The smallest was about 12 sq. km, and the largest covered about a third of the province, from B.C.’s southern border up the coast to Alaska. Since the number of electoral districts in B.C. has increased over time, electoral districts have, on average, become smaller. But some ridings have shrunk while others have expanded. That is primarily because of the increase in urban population densi- ty. Presently, 21 of the current 87 electoral districts are larger than 10,000 sq. km, in- cluding three that are larger than 100,000 Page 93 of 308

Page 94

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 25 electoral districts. Commissions since then have been required to ensure that the population of each riding does not exceed the usual deviation range of between 25% more or less than the electoral quotient without very good reason. Two laws, one enacted in 1984 and the other in 2007, differed from B.C.’s typical electoral boundaries laws. The 1984 statute divided the province’s electoral districts into five different categories based on population density. Metropolitan districts (for example, Vancouver and Victoria) were allowed to have populations that were over 100% larger than the most sparsely populated ridings. The Supreme Court of British Columbia struck down the law, finding that it violated the right to vote in section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by making the value of one person’s vote so different from another person’s vote depending on where they lived. In 2014, the legislature amended the law to establish a minimum number of seats for three designated regions of the province, regardless of the populations of the ridings within them. The designated regions were the North, Cariboo-Thompson and Columbia-Kootenay, which together comprised 17 electoral districts. This statute governed the proposals made by the 2015 Electoral Boundaries Commission (the 2015 Commission). In 2021, the law was amended again to remove this restriction. We discuss the law governing our Commission in the next chapter. Page 94 of 308

The third section explains our process to date. Page 96 of 308

Page 97

28 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Key Terms The Act Sections 3 and 9 of the Act set out the Commission’s mandate and the principles it must apply in making proposals for elec- toral districts: Function of Commission 3(1) The function of the commission is to make proposals to the Legislative Assembly as to the area, boundaries and names of the electoral districts of British Columbia. (2) If, in carrying out its functions under subsection (1), the commission considers that the number of electoral districts in British Columbia should be increased, the commission may make proposals to the Legislative Assembly to increase the number of electoral districts up to a max- imum of 93. Governing Principles for Electoral District Proposals 9(1) In this section, "electoral quotient" means the number obtained by dividing the population of British Columbia by the number of electoral districts in British Columbia proposed by the commission. (2) For the purposes of section 3, in making proposals as to the area included in and the boundaries of electoral districts, or proposals to increase the number of elec- toral districts, the commission must be governed by the following principles: (a) that the principle of representation by population be achieved, taking into account: (i) geographic considerations, including the accessibility, size or physical configuration of any part of British Columbia, (ii) demographic considerations, including communities of interest and the sparsity, density or rate of growth of the population of any part of British Columbia, and (iii) the availability and means of communication and transpor- tation between various parts of British Columbia; (b) that to achieve the principle of representation by population the commission may deviate from the electoral quotient by no more than 25%, plus or minus; Page 97 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 29 IMAGE 4: COMMISSIONER DELIB- ERATIONS, VICTORIA, B.C. CREDIT: BC ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES COM- MISSION. DATE: JUNE 24, 2022. Core Principles Section 9 of the Act establishes “repre- sentation by population” and “effective representation” as our fundamental guid- ing principles when making proposals for electoral districts. The Supreme Court of Canada has interpreted these principles in light of the right to vote in section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (c) that the commission may exceed the 25% deviation principle if it considers it necessary to provide for effective representation. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(c), in considering whether it is necessary to exceed the 25% deviation principle to provide for effective representation, the commission may take into account one or both of the following: (a) any special geographic consider- ations, including a manageable geo- graphic size for electoral districts; (b) any special demographic consid- erations, including communities of interest. Page 98 of 308

Page 99

30 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Both principles have everything to do with the right to vote and nothing to do with the results of a vote. Our recommendations for electoral boundaries must be based on the considerations set out in the Act. We must not consider the impact of our proposals on particular parties or representatives. Representation by Population Section 9 requires that “the principle of representation by population be achieved.” Representation by population, or representative democracy, refers to the type of democracy where the people elect representatives who make the laws and policies that govern everyone. There are many types of representative democracies. In British Columbia, as in all other Canadian jurisdictions, the electorate is divided into subsets called electoral districts, or ridings. The people living in each riding vote for the person they want to represent them. In order to be democratic, the number of people in each electoral district must be roughly the same. Representation by population in our democracy is therefore the right to a relatively equal voice in electing the representatives that govern us. Where a person lives, what they do for a living or how much they contribute to the economic well-being of the community does not make a difference to the weight of their vote. The principle of representation by population must be balanced with the equally important principle of effective representation. Effective Representation The principle of “effective representation,” which is also found in section 9 of the Act, complements representation by population by recognizing that differences between groups of people in different parts of the province may affect their ability to communicate with and seek assistance from their elected representatives. In Canada, elected representatives have two equally important roles. In their legislative role, they decide who forms government (usually the party with the most representatives) and what laws get passed. In their ombudsperson role, they and their staff assist constituents in dealing with government bodies. In 1991, the Supreme Court of Canada found that the purpose of the right to vote in section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not to guarantee absolute equality of voting power. That would require each riding to have the same number of people. Instead, the constitutional right to vote guarantees the right to effective representation by population. The Court explained that this right includes consideration of factors such as geography and community interests. It ensures that constituents in different electoral districts have relatively equal access to their representatives, both as legislators and as ombudspersons.2 In particular, the Supreme Court recognized that transportation and communications challenges in rural ridings may justify somewhat lower populations than in urban ridings.3 Factors in the Act Section 9 of the Act specifies three broad and overlapping considerations that we must apply when proposing new electoral boundaries. They are: Page 99 of 308

Page 100

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 31 • Geographic considerations, which in- clude the accessibility, size or physical configuration of any part of British Columbia; • Demographic considerations, which include communities of interest and the sparsity, density or rate of growth of the population of any part of British Columbia; and • The availability and means of commu- nication and transportation between various parts of British Columbia.

Our understanding of these terms stems from their relationship to representation by population and effective representa- tion, how these factors affect electoral boundaries in B.C. historically and pres- ently, and the ways people spoke of these factors in our initial consultations. Geographic Considerations “Accessibility” refers to how easy or hard it is for constituents to access their MLA and staff, particularly when seeking help with a particular problem. It includes access by internet, by phone and in person. It is important for MLAs to be present in communities throughout their electoral district. We know that some concerns are better addressed in face-to-face meetings. We also appreciate that, although internet and wireless communications are improving, there are significant parts of the province where these services are not reliable. “Size” refers to the physical area covered by an electoral district. The large geo- graphical size of some electoral districts, together with communication and trans- portation barriers, affects accessibility. “Physical configuration” refers to the unique geographical characteristics of an electoral district. It includes waterways, mountain ranges and other geographical features that affect accessibility. Demographic Considerations “Communities of interest” can have a wide range of meanings. In the context of electoral boundaries, it is about groups whose similar interests—whether cultural, social, economic or regional—relate to electoral representation. Trying to ensure that such groups are not divided by electoral boundaries can provide more- effective representation. We heard a great deal about the different interests of urban and rural constituents and about the shared interests of residents within a municipality. We also heard about the shared interests of smaller communities connected by a transportation corridor and about unique neighbourhoods within urban settings. “Sparsity and density” refer to the concentration of population within an electoral district or across several ridings. Both present challenges for drawing electoral boundaries. Population sparsity is a challenge in the northern part of the province because it leads to geographically large electoral districts and problems with accessibility. Population density is a problem in the Lower Mainland because it leads to electoral districts with more constituents and problems of voter inequality compared to more sparsely populated ridings. Larger populations in a district can also impede effective access to a person’s MLA. “Rate of growth” refers to how quickly the population of an area is expected to Page 100 of 308

Page 101

32 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 the need for constituents and their MLA to have in-person meetings. Weather, environmental crises (such as floods and fires) and inadequate infrastructure can be significant barriers to transportation in some parts of the province. New Electoral Districts Section 3(2) of the Act permits us to propose up to six new electoral districts, increasing the number of MLAs to 93 from 87. As section 3 does not state any different factors to guide proposals for the creation of new electoral districts, we use the principles in section 9 as a guide, together with the more specific principles set out below. Notes 2. REFERENCE RE PROV. ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES (SASK), [1991] 2 SCR 158 AT PARAS 49-55. 3. REFERENCE RE PROV. ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES (SASK), [1991] 2 SCR 158. AT PARA 78. grow or shrink over time. It is an important consideration because the Act says that electoral boundaries accepted by the government will be used over the next two general elections, or about eight years. Many people we heard from referred to anticipated population growth as a reason for changing existing electoral boundaries or adding a new electoral district. Communication and Transportation Considerations In this context, “communication” generally refers to internet and cellular coverage. This is a real problem in many parts of the province, especially in mountainous areas and in more northern communities. Many urban residents are not aware of how fragile or non-existent these connections are, despite the efforts made during the pandemic to improve connectivity. “Transportation” refers to all ways of getting from one place to another. By far, the most common way of moving within electoral districts is driving. However, ferries and other forms of water transport, public transit, and even air travel are vital for people living in some areas of B.C. The availability and cost of transportation, as well as the time it takes, are important when considering Page 101 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 35 Our Guiding Principles How the core concepts and key terms from the Act shape our process for redistricting. Interpreting the Act Section 9 of the Act requires us to achieve representation by population that provides effective representation for British Columbians. It says we must determine the “electoral quotient,” which is the average number of British Columbians per electoral district. It tells us that we may propose electoral boundaries for ridings whose population fall within the usual deviation range of up to 25% more or less than the electoral quotient. The Act says that our proposals for revised electoral boundaries within the usual deviation range must be based on geographic factors, demographic factors and means of communication and transportation. The Act also permits us to propose boundaries for electoral districts with populations outside of the usual deviation range where “necessary to provide for effective representation.” We understand that this is a stringent test. The Act is different from its predecessor. The previous law mandated a minimum number of seats for three specific regions of the province: the North, Cariboo- Thompson and Columbia-Kootenay, which together comprised 17 electoral districts. Ten of these ridings had populations that were lower than 25% below the electoral quotient. No ridings outside these regions had populations as low. The 2015 Commission did not have the power to reduce the number of ridings in these regions or adjust their boundaries, regardless of their population. In 2021, the legislature repealed these provisions. We heard from many residents, particularly from these three regions, that they wanted us to take the same approach and preserve these 17 electoral districts as the previous law had required. We cannot do that because we must comply with the Act as it exists now. Our Act requires us to look at the boundaries of every electoral district in the province. For a riding whose population falls outside the usual deviation range, we must consider whether it is possible, in light of the statutory factors, to revise Page 104 of 308

Page 105

36 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 its electoral boundaries to bring it within the usual deviation range. If it is not, we must decide whether special geographic or demographic considerations make the unusual deviation truly necessary. Specific Principles Based on our understanding of the Act, we developed additional specific principles to guide our deliberations. We did not prioritize them but used them as touchstones in our discussions. They are: • Only make changes where they are needed. We consider continuity important. While it is possible to approach electoral boundaries with a blank slate, this would cause a lot of disruption and would not respect the historical traditions of communities within the same electoral district.

• Allow for future population growth. The Act is forward looking and the recommendations we make, if accepted, will apply for the next two general elections.

• Balance populations in the same area. The Act does not divide British Co- lumbia into formal regions. However, British Columbians commonly identify themselves as living in particular areas, such as the North, or the Interior. We recognize this reality by trying to reduce population disparities within each area.

• Use existing boundaries. There are an astonishing number of boundaries in the province quite apart from federal and provincial electoral districts. They include municipalities, First Nations territories, regional districts and school districts. We used existing boundaries as much as possible to reduce confusion.

• Use geographical boundaries. Existing boundaries are often drawn along natural boundaries, such as waterways, mountains and major highways. People tend to think of them as natural divid- ers, and we wanted to reflect that in our boundary drawing.

• Avoid splitting Indigenous commu- nities. Although the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) are directed at governments and not in- dependent commissions such as ours, we adopt this principle because it is consistent with the objectives of our Act.

• Consider the ombudsperson role of an MLA. This principle reminds us that an MLA’s ombudsperson role is as important as their legislative role. We recognize that being an effective ombudsperson may be harder in more sparsely populated ridings with fewer services.

• Reduce the number of electoral dis- tricts falling outside the 25% deviation range. We believe this principle fol- lows from the core concept of repre- sentation by population and the Act’s definition of the usual deviation range. By increasing the number of ridings within that range, we reduce the need for exceptions.

Page 105 of 308

Page 106

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 37 • Change names of ridings only where necessary and prefer inclusive names. Traditionally, names of provincial ridings have referred to larger com- munities or distinct geographical areas. We wanted to continue that approach with names that reflect the breadth of the riding. We also wanted to keep names relatively short and to try to ensure that, in alphabetic lists of ridings, those in the same geographical area would be listed together. Page 106 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 39 Our Process to Date We were appointed as Commissioners on October 21, 2021. Our first virtual meeting was a week later, on October 28, and our first in-person meeting was on November 4. None of us knew each other previously. At the outset, we agreed that we wanted to operate by consensus. We would talk through any issues until we all felt comfortable with how to proceed. We agreed that our first steps should be to better understand the importance of electoral boundaries and redrawing them. We invited experts to talk with us about electoral boundary law, the experience of prior electoral boundary commissions, demographics, population statistics and mapping. We also determined what staff we needed to hire. Our staff joined us be- tween December 2021 and February 2022. In our initial meetings, we decided that we wanted to be as accessible and transparent as possible. We wanted to visit as many communities in all areas of the province as we could, especially areas outside the Lower Mainland and Victoria. Recognizing the limitations posed by travel times and distances, as well as by the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to hold virtual meetings in addition to in- person meetings. Our website went live on February 22, 2022. As part of our efforts to increase awareness, we began a media campaign asking for feedback on the area, boundaries and names of the current provincial electoral districts. We directly contacted First Nations organizations, local governments, MLAs and others that we thought might be interested in our work. We advertized in newspapers, on radio and television, as well as online. Recognizing the challenge in asking the public to comment on a topic as abstract as provincial electoral boundaries, we de- scribed our Commission and our mandate in our outreach materials and at public meetings. We chatted with people infor- mally and answered questions after our in-person and virtual public meetings. Our website has a survey tool that prompts people with questions about their elec- toral district in relation to the factors in the Act. In addition to public meetings and our website, we accepted submissions by email or post, and over the phone. The initial public consultation phase ended on May 31, 2022. We heard from people at 50 public meetings in 43 communities, and we received over 1,000 submissions. Page 108 of 308

Page 109

40 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 We learned a great deal from this con- sultation, both about British Columbians’ views on electoral boundaries in general and in their particular districts, and about the process of public outreach campaigns. What we heard about electoral bound- aries has significantly influenced our rec- ommendations. What we learned about public outreach will influence our final round of public consultation. We spent two weeks deliberating in June 2022, and the months of June, July and August writing this initial report. Page 109 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 43 Introduction This chapter contains our proposals for electoral boundary adjustments. For ease of reading, we have divided the province into 11 geographical areas organized in the order that we discussed them during our deliberations. Each area contains overviews and descriptions of our proposed boundaries for the electoral districts in that area, together with maps of each area and district. We have listed electoral districts within each area or sub-area alphabetically. We propose two changes with province-wide effects. First, we consider that six additional electoral districts are necessary to provide British Columbians with effective representation. Second, we propose three technical mapping changes to improve electoral riding maps. These technical mapping changes do not affect populated areas. In our view, six additional ridings are a necessary response to the province’s significant population growth since the 2015 Commission and the projected population growth trends in densely populated urban areas. We propose to locate these new electoral districts in Langford, Kelowna, Langley, Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver. With 93 electoral districts, the electoral quotient is 53,773, and the usual deviation range is between 40,330 and 67,216 people in each electoral district. Many people told us that they believe new electoral districts are needed in areas where the population of existing ridings Page 112 of 308

44 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Legend ! Community Railway Road River, Creek Waterbody Greenspace Park First Nations First Nations Land Claim Settlement Administrative Boundary Municipality Electoral District Boundary Coincidental Electoral District/Admin Boundary is significantly more than 25% over the electoral quotient. Some said that it is unfair that a vote in the densest urban ridings is currently worth one-fourth of a vote in the province’s least populous ridings. We received several detailed proposals about where new districts should be situated. Some residents of more sparsely populated ridings said that creating new districts in densely populated communities was an effective way to reduce the population disparity between urban and rural areas without reducing the number of rural ridings. Our initial review of the populations of existing electoral districts also pointed to the need for new ridings. Using 2021 population figures and the 87 existing electoral districts, six electoral districts are over the maximum of 25% more than the electoral quotient. Four of them are 30% over the electoral quotient and one is more than 40% over. Many of these ridings are next to one another and the problem is compounded by the fact that these areas are projected to continue to grow faster than the average population growth rate. Adding six new electoral districts as we propose not only alleviates the problem of over-populated ridings but is also an effective way to address ridings whose populations are less than the minimum usual deviation of 25% below the electoral quotient. The new ridings lower the bottom of the usual deviation range from the current minimum of 43,111 people in a riding to 40,330. That means fewer boundary adjustments are needed to bring more sparsely populated ridings within the usual deviation range. As a result, the weight of a vote in the province’s least populated riding will no longer be four times more than the weight of a vote in the province’s most densely populated riding. The difference will be about three to one. We believe our proposal strongly supports the twin principles of representation by population and effective representation for all British Columbians, as the Act requires. Page 113 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 45 The three technical mapping changes we propose affect how electoral maps are drawn in unpopulated areas. First, we adjust riding boundaries on the Pacific coast to coincide with existing regional district boundaries, which follow the coastline at a 5 km distance out to sea. Presently, coastal boundaries are drawn at a much greater distance, unnecessarily incorporating more unpopulated ocean area into these ridings. Second, we adjust existing electoral district boundaries in unpopulated areas to coincide with nearby municipal or administrative boundaries. Third, we orient electoral district boundaries that continue into inland waterways to angles of zero, 90, 180 or 270 degrees. The proposed electoral district maps in this report incorporate these changes. Page 114 of 308

MAY 11, 2020 fast-growing Greater Victoria area, to move the Victoria West neighbourhood out of the Victoria-Beacon Hill district, and to recognize the strong community links between Cumberland, Courtenay and Comox. We propose creating a new electoral district in the Langford area, called Langford-Highlands, to address the rapid population growth in Greater Victoria, with consequent changes to neighbouring ridings. We recommend boundary changes Presently, the Vancouver Island area is made up of 14 electoral districts. They encompass all of Vancouver Island, adjacent islands and the area defined by the boundaries of the Regional District of Mount Waddington, which includes parts of the mainland. The Vancouver Island area is growing quickly but unevenly. It includes dense urban centres, large fast-growing suburban neighbourhoods and smaller slower growing rural communities. In parts of this area, geographic features such as waterways shape connections between communities. Many people living on the Island believe that the current electoral boundaries continue to serve their communities well. However, there is pressure for change in some communities. These include calls to create an additional riding in the Page 117 of 308

Page 118

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 49 in a number of other electoral districts to accommodate existing and projected population growth. As a result of these changes, we are proposing name changes to five electoral districts. We believe that these changes better reflect the communities that comprise these ridings. The population distribution, and anticipated growth in the Comox Valley do not support a proposal to move Cumberland into the same electoral district as Courtenay and Comox at this time. Doing so would result in a Mid Island- Pacific Rim riding with a population far less than that of the neighbouring Courtenay- Comox electoral district. Greater Victoria The Greater Victoria area is situated on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, running up to Port Renfrew on the west coast and including the Southern Gulf Islands to the north and east. Our key proposals include adding a new electoral district centred on Langford; moving the Victoria West neighbourhood out of the Victoria- TABLE 2: VANCOUVER ISLAND POPULATION, DEVIATION AND AREA SOURCE: 2021 STATISTICS CANADA CENSUS COUNT Electoral District Population Deviation (%) Area (sq km) Courtenay-Comox 60,354 12.2 1,587 Cowichan Valley 54,199 0.8 1,916 Esquimalt-Colwood 58,343 8.5 53 Juan de Fuca-Malahat 44,931 -16.4 3,116 Langford-Highlands 49,114 -8.7 86 Mid Island-Pacific Rim 58,783 9.3 11,830 Nanaimo-Gabriola Island 58,924 9.6 780 Nanaimo-Ladysmith 54,385 1.1 1,783 Nanaimo-Oceanside 60,069 11.7 899 North Island 58,940 9.6 39,933 Oak Bay-Gordon Head 56,466 5.0 302 Saanich North and the Islands 57,346 6.6 1,514 Saanich South 59,226 10.1 96 Victoria-Beacon Hill 54,375 1.1 83 Victoria-Swan Lake 54,780 1.9 18 Total/Average 840,235 0.4 63,996 Page 118 of 308

CREDIT: LESLY DERKSEN MAY 5, 2019 Juan de Fuca-Malahat Our proposal for this riding unites the communities along the Strait of Juan de Fuca—Metchosin, Sooke and Port Renfrew—with those north of the Malahat Pass—Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay and Cobble Hill. We believe combining several smaller communities and rural areas in one electoral district is preferable to the alternative of moving part of the Juan de Fuca region into the Cowichan Valley riding. Beacon Hill riding and into Esquimalt- Colwood; and moving Brentwood Bay from Saanich North and the Islands into Saanich South. Esquimalt-Colwood Esquimalt-Colwood includes the fast- growing municipalities of Colwood, View Royal, and Esquimalt. We heard that the Victoria West neighbourhood is more closely connected with communities west of the Gorge Waterway than with the City of Victoria. Their shared interests include transit corridors such as the E&N Trail and the Island Highway. We therefore propose adding Victoria West to this riding. Page 119 of 308

Page 120

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 51 Langford-Highlands The population of the City of Langford has grown by 31.8% over the past five years and is projected to continue growing rapidly. To address this, we propose a new electoral district whose boundaries follow the municipal boundaries of the City of Langford and the District of Highlands. Oak Bay-Gordon Head This riding includes the municipality of Oak Bay, the Saanich neighbourhoods of Gordon Head and Cadboro Bay, the Gonzales neighbourhood of Victoria and the University of Victoria. It has room for growth within its current boundaries and we propose no changes. Saanich North and the Islands This electoral district includes much of Central Saanich, as well as North Saanich, Sidney and the Southern Gulf Islands. Moving the community of Brentwood Bay from this riding into Saanich South, as we propose, creates room for the anticipated population growth in this riding. Saanich South This riding includes the Saanich neigh- bourhoods of Royal Oak, Cordova Bay, Prospect Lake and Brentwood Bay. We propose moving Brentwood Bay into this electoral district to address the popula- tion disparity between it and the adjacent riding of Saanich North and the Islands. Victoria-Beacon Hill Victoria-Beacon Hill contains the City of Victoria’s urban core. It includes the downtown area, and the James Bay, Fairfield, Rockland, Harris Green, North Park and Fernwood neighbourhoods. Our proposal to move the Victoria West neighbourhood out of this riding creates room for anticipated growth. Victoria-Swan Lake Victoria-Swan Lake encompasses the neighbourhoods north of downtown Victoria, including Tillicum, Burnside, Oak- lands and Lake Hill. Its existing boundaries work well, and we propose no changes. Greater Nanaimo In addition to the City of Nanaimo, the three electoral districts in Greater Nanaimo run from Ladysmith in the south to Qualicum Beach in the north. Some residents suggested that the City of Nanaimo should have its own riding. Doing so would create a riding with a population exceeding the maximum of the usual deviation range, compromising effective representation by population. Instead, we propose adjusting the boundaries of the three existing Nanaimo ridings to better balance their populations. Nanaimo-Gabriola Island This electoral district consists of Nanai- mo’s downtown core, adjacent neigh- bourhoods, and the Snuneymuxw First Nation communities to the south of the city centre. We included Gabriola Island in this riding because its access to Vancouver Island is through downtown Nanaimo. Nanaimo-Ladysmith Nanaimo-Ladysmith includes Ladysmith, Cassidy, Cedar and Yellow Point, as well as the fast-growing suburban part of north Page 120 of 308

Page 121

52 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Nanaimo between Departure Bay Road in the south and Brickyard, Rutherford and Mostar roads in the north. We are not proposing an exclusively North Nanaimo riding because we wanted to balance its population with the adjacent Nanaimo- Oceanside electoral district. Nanaimo-Oceanside This riding includes the Oceanside communities of Parksville, Qualicum, French Creek, Nanoose Bay and Lantzville. It also includes the northern neighbourhoods of Nanaimo to the west of Brickyard, Rutherford and Mostar roads. Other than the riding name, we are not proposing changes to this district. Other Vancouver Island Ridings Courtenay-Comox This electoral district includes Courtenay, Comox, Little River, Merville and Black Creek. For the reasons explained in the Vancouver Island area overview, we propose no changes to this electoral district’s boundaries at this time. Cowichan Valley This riding consists of Cowichan Valley communities including Duncan, Lake Cowichan and Cowichan Bay. We propose boundary adjustments to include Chemainus in the north and Cherry Point in the south. These changes better balance the population of this riding with its neighbours. Mid Island-Pacific Rim Mid Island-Pacific Rim spans the middle of Vancouver Island, encompassing communities on both coasts. These include Ucluelet, Tofino, Port Alberni, Qualicum Bay, Cumberland, and Denman and Hornby Islands. For the reasons explained in the Vancouver Island area overview, we propose no changes to this electoral district’s boundaries at this time. North Island This electoral district encompasses the northern portion of Vancouver Island, adjacent islands and the area defined by the boundaries of the Regional District of Mount Waddington, which extends onto the mainland. It includes the communities of Campbell River, Sayward, Port McNeill, Port Hardy and Alert Bay. Although its population is within the usual deviation range, it is less than its neighbours. We consider that its comparatively large geographical area and uneven population distribution continue to support its present boundaries, and we propose no changes to this riding. Page 121 of 308

We heard from many residents of this area about the tremendous obstacles constit- uents and MLAs face in trying to access each other effectively. Most expressed great concern that reducing the number of electoral districts in this area would undermine effective representation. Some advocated for increasing the number of ridings in this area because they felt they need a greater voice in the legislature. This area of the province is divided into six electoral districts: Bulkley Valley-Stikine, Nechako Lakes, North Coast, Peace River North, Peace River South and Skeena. They include the largest geographical ridings in the province. Their terrain is challenging, with complex coastal waterways, river systems and mountains. Along with weather, inadequate communications and transportation infrastructure combine to make it difficult for constituents and their elected representatives to interact. The populations of five of these six ridings (all except Peace River North) fall below the lower limit of 25% less than the electoral quotient. The former legislation prohibited the 2015 Commission from reducing the number of ridings in this area. Our Act permits us to create electoral districts with populations less than 25% of the electoral quotient Page 139 of 308

Page 140

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 71 Electoral District Population Deviation (%) Area (sq km) Bulkley Valley-Stikine 20,552 -61.8 196,484 Nechako Lakes 25,293 -53.0 73,815 North Coast 21,980 -59.1 120,665 Peace River North 40,375 -24.9 175,795 Peace River South 25,635 -52.3 30,362 Skeena 30,148 -43.9 31,610 Total/Average 163,983 -49.2 628,731 They told us that rural ridings do not have a sufficient say in government. We appreciate the depth and sincerity of these concerns; however, we believe the principles of representation by population and effective representation in the Act do not permit us to increase population disparities between ridings. Rather, we must apply the legislative factors and justify the boundaries of any riding whose population falls outside the usual deviation range as truly necessary. As our mandate requires, we first asked ourselves whether it was possible to reduce the number of electoral districts in this area and bring each district’s population within the usual deviation range without compromising effective representation. We considered the location of communities, geographical features, transportation corridors and communications. Having done so, we concluded that any changes to the existing boundaries of these six electoral districts would deprive their residents of effective representation. Therefore, we propose no changes to their existing boundaries. We explain why we consider it necessary for effective representation that each riding falling below the usual deviation range maintain its current boundaries in the summary for those electoral districts below. Bulkley Valley-Stikine This is the largest electoral district in British Columbia at 196,484 sq. km, and it is the most sparsely populated at 61.8% below the electoral quotient. Most people reside in the Bulkley Valley, located in the southern part of the riding. For this reason, we are proposing to change the name of this riding from Stikine to Bulkley Valley-Stikine. This district includes the communities of Hazelton, Smithers and Telkwa, along Highway 16. The riding extends to the TABLE 4: THE NORTH POPULATION, DEVIATION AND AREA SOURCE: 2021 STATISTICS CANADA CENSUS COUNT Page 140 of 308

Page 141

72 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Canada-U.S. border in the west and north to the Yukon border, and it includes the communities of the Tahltan Nation, Dease Lake, Telegraph Creek and Atlin. The remote communities in the north of this riding are separated by very long stretches of road that are subject to harsh weather conditions much of the year. Alternative transportation, such as air travel, is limited and expensive. Internet and cellular connectivity are poor. We considered moving other communities along Highway 16, such as Houston, into this riding; however, that would have reduced the population of the Nechako Lakes riding without meaningfully increasing the population of Bulkley Valley-Stikine. We also explored combining Bulkley Valley- Stikine with Skeena. This would have further concentrated the population in the south, making it less practically feasible for the remainder of the population and their MLA to interact. We therefore propose no changes to this riding's existing boundaries. Nechako Lakes Most of the population of this electoral district resides along Highway 16 in the communities of Houston, Burns Lake, Fraser Lake and Vanderhoof. The riding includes Fort Babine and Fort St. James to the north and Tweedsmuir Provincial Park to the south. Its population is 53% below the electoral quotient. As we experienced first-hand during our travel in Nechako Lakes, much of this electoral district lacks reliable cellular and internet connections. We considered eliminating this riding by moving the western half into the Bulkley Valley-Stikine electoral district and the eastern half into Prince George-Mackenzie. However, that would have significantly exacerbated the isolation of this sparsely populated district, compromising effective representation. We propose to leave this district’s electoral boundaries as they are. North Coast This riding encompasses Haida Gwaii, the North Coast and the Central Coast. Other than the urban centre of Prince Rupert, its sparse population is spread across numerous towns, villages and islands. Many communities are accessible only by water or air, subject to favourable weather and available transport. The district covers 120,665 sq. km, and its population is 59.1% below the electoral quotient. We considered combining North Coast with Skeena, but that would have compounded the accessibility challenges caused by this area’s vast geography. We also considered moving the Bella Coola valley into the Cariboo-North Thompson riding, since they share a transportation corridor along Highway 20, but decided against this because it would make the population of the North Coast even smaller. We propose no consequential changes to its existing boundaries.4 Peace River North This riding consists of communities north of the Peace River, including Hudson’s Hope, Fort St. John, the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality and Fort Nelson. It is the second largest riding in British Columbia at 175,795 sq. km. Travel within the district is difficult because of its size, limited transportation options and severe winter climate. The population Page 141 of 308

Page 142

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 73 of Peace River North is within the usual deviation range. As we believe the existing boundaries are appropriate, we propose no consequential changes.5 Peace River South This electoral district covers an area south of the Peace River, including Dawson Creek, Chetwynd and Tumbler Ridge. Its population is 52.3% below the electoral quotient. Geographically, it is smaller than most other northern ridings, but it is adjacent to the large riding of Peace River North, and it is separated from the rest of the province by the Rocky Mountains. We considered combining the two Peace River ridings, but that would have exacerbated already significant transportation and connectivity problems. We also looked at moving some of the communities just west of the Rocky Mountains into Peace River South; however, an electoral district that spans the Rocky Mountains makes little sense given the lack of reliable transportation routes. Importantly, South Peace communities have different interests than those of communities west of the Rockies. We concluded that the geographical size and communities of interest in this riding make its current boundaries necessary. We propose no changes to them. Skeena Skeena includes Terrace, Kitimat and the Nisga'a Nation. At 31,610 sq. km, it is smaller than its neighbouring electoral districts of North Coast, Bulkley Valley-Stikine and Nechako Lakes. Its population puts it 43.9% below the electoral quotient. This is a mountainous riding with climate challenges that make communication and transportation difficult. Its communities are connected by Highways 16, 37 and 113, which are subject to adverse weather conditions for much of the year. Since Skeena is smaller than other northern ridings and many communities are only connected by highways, we considered combining it with one or more of its neighbours. However, given their very large sizes, doing so would significantly compound existing obstacles to effective representation. It would also disrupt long-standing communities of interest in Skeena, compromising the effectiveness of their representation. We believe the existing boundaries are necessary and propose no changes.

NOVEMBER 13, 2021 to keep four ridings and propose boundary adjustments that bring the population of each electoral district within the usual deviation range. We also considered adding the Bella Coola valley to Cariboo- North Thompson but decided against that because it would have further reduced the small population of the North Coast electoral district. Residents in this area consistently emphasized the challenge of ensuring effective representation for people living in rural and remote areas. They highlighted The Prince George and the Cariboo area is made up of four electoral districts situated in the centre of the province. Prince George is the most populous city in this area with 76,708 residents. Other communities include Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. This part of the province is mostly rural, with many people living in remote locations. The population is relatively sparse and it is growing slower than the provincial average. The two current Cariboo ridings, Cariboo-Chilcotin and Cariboo North, fall significantly below the usual deviation range at -40.9% and -49.6% respectively. The population of the two existing Prince George ridings are within the usual deviation range. We considered combining the two Cariboo electoral districts into one riding; however, we concluded that the better alternative for effective representation is Page 151 of 308

Many told us that we should maintain the existing electoral district boundaries. Some said that ensuring adequate representation in growing urban areas should not come at the expense of the residents of this area. Transportation is a particular challenge here. The arterial Highways 16, 97 and 20 connect the communities throughout the Cariboo and Chilcotin. They run over a high plateau that is subject to harsh weather conditions year round. Many remote communities depend on these roads and have no alternative routes. This area has among the worst connectivity in the province. Although improving, cellular and internet access remains poor outside of major communities. Combining the Cariboo ridings would exacerbate these transportation and connectivity problems. Our proposal distributes the population concentrated in Prince George over three ridings, bringing all of this area’s ridings within the usual deviation range. We have kept downtown Prince George in one riding and have not disrupted existing connections between communities in the Robson Valley, the Chilcotin Plateau and the South Cariboo. We propose two electoral district name changes to reflect the communities within these ridings. Cariboo-North Thompson This electoral district consists of the southern part of the Cariboo and the Chilcotin Plateau, as well as part of the North Thompson. We propose including Williams Lake, Lac la Hache, 100 Mile House, Clearwater, Barrière and Anahim Lake into this riding. Prince George-Cariboo The southern neighbourhoods of Prince George and the communities of the northern Cariboo and Chilcotin regions make up this electoral district. It includes Prince George south from the College Heights neighbourhood and the communities of Quesnel, Likely, Stoner, Hixon and Wells.

It includes the Cranbrook Hill and Heritage neighbourhoods of Prince George and extends beyond the city to include the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation communities, Salmon Valley, Summit Lake, Bear Lake, MacLeod Lake and Mackenzie. Prince George-Valemount This electoral district runs from the urban centre of Prince George east to the Alberta border. It includes downtown Prince George, the neighbourhoods of South Fort George and Charella Garden, and the northern part of College Heights. To the east, it covers the Robson Valley and the northernmost part of the North Thompson River Valley, including Valemount, McBride, Tête Jaune Cache and Blue River, along Highways 5 and 16.

92 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 11: DOWNTOWN NELSON, B.C. CREDIT: PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. APRIL 29, 2007 Following our mandate, we first considered whether it made sense to propose reducing the number of ridings to three from four. It quickly became clear that fewer ridings would create even greater barriers to effective representation by making it harder for constituents and their MLAs to interact. In addition to the challenging transportation routes, some of which require ferry travel, the area faces severe seasonal weather. Internet and cellular connectivity is limited outside of The Kootenays’ four electoral districts lie in the southeast corner of the province. This area is dominated by mountain ranges and large bodies of water creating challenges for transportation. The population of the Kootenays is growing more slowly than the provincial average, and the populations of both Columbia River-Revelstoke and Nelson-Creston currently fall more than 25% below the electoral quotient. Many people expressed concern that we might propose reducing the number of electoral districts in this area. Residents pointed to travel and communication bar- riers that currently impede effective rep- resentation. Some stressed the different identities of the East and West Kootenays, and others suggested changes to recog- nize links between specific communities. Page 161 of 308

We explored removing Revelstoke and Golden from the Columbia River-Revel- stoke riding and adding them to Salmon Arm-Shuswap in the Interior area. How- ever, Revelstoke and Golden are only connected directly to the Shuswap area by Highway 1, which traverses the Mona- shee and Selkirk Mountains. This highway is subject to severe weather conditions including frequent winter closures. Com- mercial air travel into these communities is unavailable. We rejected dividing the population of the Nelson-Creston riding between the three other Kootenays elec- toral districts for the same reasons. We concluded that effective representa- tion for this area of the province requires four electoral districts. Our proposed electoral boundary adjustments reduce the differences between the populations of each of this area’s ridings, and bring the population of all four districts within the usual deviation range. Columbia River-Revelstoke This electoral district stretches along the Columbia Valley. It includes Kimberley, Radium Hot Springs, Golden and Mica Creek. The northern part of this riding contains the communities along Highway 1 from Revelstoke in the west to Field in the east. To better balance the population between the Kootenays ridings, we propose extending the southern boundary of Columbia River-Revelstoke to take in the western outskirts of Cranbrook. Kootenay Central The communities around Kootenay and Slocan Lakes make up most of the pop- ulation of this electoral district. These in- clude Nelson, Kaslo, Creston, Nakusp, New Denver, Silverton and Salmo. We propose changing the name of this electoral district from Nelson-Creston to Kootenay Central to reflect its many communities. Kootenay East Kootenay East consists of communities along Highway 3, including Cranbrook, TABLE 8: THE KOOTENAYS POPULATION, DEVIATION AND AREA SOURCE: 2021 STATISTICS CANADA CENSUS COUNT Page 162 of 308

We propose an adjustment north and west of Cranbrook to move some of the population currently in Kootenay East into Columbia River- Revelstoke. The core of the City of Cranbrook remains in the Kootenay East riding. Kootenay West This riding includes Castlegar, Rossland, Trail, Christina Lake and the communities along the Slocan River delta up to the Village of Slocan. We propose moving the Christina Lake area into this riding, and moving the communities of Nakusp, New Denver and Silverton into Kootenay Central. Page 163 of 308

102 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 12: OKANAGAN LAKE, KELOWNA, B.C. CREDIT: KOLBY MILTON. JANUARY 23, 2021 Kamloops is also growing quickly. We reflect its urbanization by adjusting existing boundaries to divide the city centre and adjacent neighbourhoods from more sparsely populated neighbourhoods and rural areas. We propose moving some of the rural communities north and west of Kamloops into the electoral districts of Fraser Nicola and Cariboo-North Thompson. This brings the populations of these ridings within the usual deviation range while accommodating projected population growth in Kamloops. The Interior area presently consists of 10 electoral districts in south-central B.C., including the Okanagan, Nicola, Shuswap, Thompson and Boundary regions. The population of this area is unevenly distributed. It includes the growing urban centres of Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon and Penticton, but also contains sparsely populated areas with little projected growth, particularly in the Boundary- Similkameen and Fraser-Nicola ridings. The three current Kelowna ridings (Kelowna-Mission, Kelowna West and Kelowna-Lake Country) are growing at nearly twice the provincial average. In addition, the populations of Kelowna West and Kelowna-Lake County are above the usual deviation range. We address this by proposing a new electoral district for this area. Page 171 of 308

Page 172

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 103 In contrast, Boundary-Similkameen is a rural riding with no major urban centre. We considered whether there was a way to increase the population of this riding without significantly adding to its already large geographic size. However, the terrain to the north, east and west made it impractical to adjust its boundaries with adjacent Okanagan ridings. Therefore, the only boundary change we propose is to move Christina Lake into Kootenay West. This change better balances the population of Boundary-Similkameen with its eastern neighbours. The population of the electoral district of Fraser-Nicola is currently 41% below the electoral quotient, and it is not projected to grow significantly over the next few years. To address this, we propose expanding its boundaries to include the district of Kent and Harrison Hot Springs. These neighbouring communities are located north of the Fraser River and are connected to the rest of Fraser-Nicola by Highway 7. This change increases the riding’s population without significantly expanding its geographical area and keeps related communities together. As a result of the boundary adjustments in this area, our proposals also include name changes for five electoral districts. We believe these changes better reflect the communities within these districts TABLE 10: THE INTERIOR POPULATION, DEVIATION AND AREA SOURCE: 2021 STATISTICS CANADA CENSUS COUNT Electoral District Population Deviation (%) Area (sq km) Boundary-Similkameen 45,867 -14.7 14,956 Fraser-Nicola 44,338 -17.5 36,781 Kamloops Centre 60,681 12.8 114 Kamloops-North Shuswap 56,642 5.3 6,805 Kelowna Centre 57,457 6.9 56 Kelowna-Lake Country 59,325 10.3 2,253 Kelowna-Mission 59,723 11.1 521 Penticton-Summerland 55,396 3.0 1,599 Salmon Arm-Shuswap 58,919 9.6 5,864 Vernon-Monashee 59,819 11.2 3,896 West Kelowna-Peachland 55,664 3.5 1,435 Total/Average 613,831 3.8 74,280 Page 172 of 308

104 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Greater Kelowna Currently, the City of Kelowna is divided into three ridings. The electoral district of Kelowna West includes part of downtown Kelowna, as well as the City of West Kelowna. Residents of downtown Kelowna told us they found it confusing and inappropriate for them to vote in Kelowna West. We propose to address this by drawing the boundary of Kelowna West down the centre of Okanagan Lake, removing downtown Kelowna. We believe that the population density and projected growth of downtown Kelowna justify creating a new electoral district for this area, which we propose to locate in downtown Kelowna. Some people told us that Big White should become part of a Kelowna riding because of its proximity and shared economic interests with the City of Kelowna. We acknowledge these connections but are not proposing this change. As part of the Kootenay Boundary Regional District, Big White has administrative ties to its current electoral district. We did not hear that Big White is experiencing barriers to effective representation, and we note that its access to its MLA is facilitated by the riding’s relatively low population. We also heard requests that Rutland, which is currently divided by the electoral boundary that runs along Highway 33, be united in a single riding. While we appreciate the shared community interests of Rutland residents, its population is too large to include in one riding without requiring disruptive changes to surrounding electoral districts. We are therefore not recommending such a change at this time. Kelowna Centre This electoral district comprises Kelowna’s urban core. It includes the downtown area north of Cadder Avenue, and the neighbourhoods of Benvoulin and Glenmore. In light of its rapidly increasing population, our recommended boundaries leave room for growth. Kelowna-Lake Country We propose adding more of the area outside of downtown Kelowna to this riding, including the neighbourhoods of Poplar Point, Winfield and Rutland north of Highway 33. We also propose extending the boundary north into the Vernon area to include Ellison, Oyama, Beachcomber Bay, Okanagan Landing and East Bella Vista Highlands. Kelowna-Mission Kelowna-Mission includes the communities of East Kelowna, Mission Creek and Okanagan Mission. It also contains the portion of Rutland south of Highway 33. We propose moving the area north of K.L.O. Road, east of Gordon Drive and west of Mission Creek into the Kelowna Centre riding to balance populations between these electoral districts. West Kelowna-Peachland We propose removing downtown Kelowna from this electoral district and redrawing its boundaries to include only communities on the west side of Okanagan Lake, including the District of Peachland. We heard that Peachland has strong ties with West Kelowna, and the two communities are connected by Highway 97. This will create an electoral Page 173 of 308

Page 174

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 105 district that is within the usual deviation range with room for growth. Other Interior Area Ridings Boundary-Similkameen This riding stretches from the Canada- U.S. border to the southern Okanagan. It includes many communities along Highway 3 and 3A, such as Princeton, Keremeos, Oliver, Midway, Osoyoos and Grand Forks. In order to balance the population between this riding and its eastern neighbours, we propose removing Christina Lake from this riding and adding it to Kootenay West. Fraser-Nicola Fraser-Nicola runs from E.C. Manning Provincial Park in the south through the Fraser Canyon to the Thompson and Nicola regions in the north. It contains Hope, Lytton, Clinton, Merritt, Lillooet and Cache Creek. To bring its population within the allowable deviation range, we propose expanding its boundaries to include the District of Kent and Harrison Hot Springs. Kamloops Centre This electoral district includes Kamloops's urban core and surrounding neighbour- hoods of Aberdeen, Dufferin, Thompson Rivers University, North Kamloops and Brocklehurst. Currently, it straddles the Thompson River. We propose adjusting its boundaries so that the rural areas east and west of the urban centre fall within the Fraser-Nicola and Kamloops-North Shuswap ridings. That way, the neighbour- hoods around the downtown core remain connected and the populations between adjacent electoral districts are better balanced, accommodating projected pop- ulation growth. Kamloops-North Shuswap This riding comprises suburban parts of Kamloops and rural areas extending into the Shuswap, North and South Thompson regions. It includes the suburban neighbourhoods of Westsyde and Raleigh, and the rural communities of Prichard and Chase. The proposed changes expand this riding into the North Shuswap area and move neighbourhoods close to downtown Kamloops into the Kamloops Centre electoral district. Penticton-Summerland This riding is located at the southern end of Okanagan Lake and includes Naramata, Summerland and Penticton. We agree with those who told us that it is important that the three Penticton Indian Band reserves remain together in one riding. Our proposal to move Peachland from this riding into West Kelowna-Peachland does not affect the Penticton Indian Band’s reserve lands. Salmon Arm-Shuswap We propose reducing the size of this electoral district so that its population is similar to those of other Interior area ridings. Our proposal keeps Enderby, Armstrong, Salmon Arm and Sicamous in this district, moving a portion of North Shuswap Lake and Seymour Arm to Kamloops-North Shuswap. Page 174 of 308

Page 175

106 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Vernon-Monashee This riding encompasses the core of Vernon and Coldstream. It also extends south and east to include Lumby and Cherryville. The population of the riding is currently near the top of the usual deviation range and growing quickly. We therefore considered how to reduce its population. We considered that the close ties between the communities along Highway 6, Vernon and Coldstream support keeping them in the same electoral district. We propose moving Beachcomber Bay, Okanagan Landing and East Bella Vista Highlands into Kelowna-Lake Country. This reduces the population of Vernon- Monashee, bringing it in line with that of Kelowna-Lake Country. Page 175 of 308

120 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 13: ABBOTSFORD, B.C. CREDIT: PROVINCE OF BRITISH CO- LUMBIA. AUGUST 8, 2008 East, currently exceed the usual deviation range. At 35% over the electoral quotient, Langley East is one of the most populous ridings in the province. The consistent theme in the submissions we received from this area was population growth and the consequent need for more representation, particularly around Langley. Some people highlighted specific concerns, such as the division of some communities into more than one riding, or that a particular community was a better fit in a neighbouring district. At present, the Fraser Valley-Langley- Maple Ridge area is made up of nine electoral districts. They include the municipalities of Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, Aldergrove, Langley, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The area includes fast- growing urban centres and suburbs along with large tracts of agricultural land. The natural boundary created by the Fraser River has an impact on transportation, accessibility and the identities of communities located along its banks. Langley, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford are expanding rapidly. New transportation corridors that will better integrate this area with the rest of the Lower Mainland are under construction. This has attracted many people to these communities, a trend that is projected to continue. Three of the ridings in this area, Maple Ridge- Mission, Abbotsford South, and Langley Page 189 of 308

Page 190

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 121 We propose adding a new riding in the Langley area. We see this as necessary to accommodate the current population and projected growth. Our proposed boundary changes recognize the suburban and rural composition of Langley and keep the downtown core of Langley intact. Our proposal also reflects the connection between the eastern part of Langley and Aldergrove by combining them into a Langley-Aldergrove riding. The adjustments we propose to the other ridings in the Fraser Valley-Langley-Maple Ridge area are aimed at reducing population differences between neighbouring ridings to create as much room as possible for future population growth. We considered creating a separate riding for Mission but, at 41,519 people, it would be much less populated than neighbouring ridings. That is why we propose moving more of the core of Mission into Abbotsford-Mission and maintaining downtown Chilliwack in a single riding. We also propose name changes for five of the electoral districts in this area to reflect their proposed composition. Abbotsford-Mission This riding straddles the Fraser River. It contains the core of Mission and the northeast part of Abbotsford. As the pop- ulation of this electoral district is relatively high, we looked at a number of ways to better balance it with its neighbours. We propose boundary adjustments to include more of the centre of Mission and less of Abbotsford, removing part of the riding south of a line bounded by Highway 11, Old Yale Road, and Marshall Road.

122 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Abbotsford South This riding contains Abbotsford city centre and the Aberdeen, Poplar and Kilgard neighbourhoods. We propose to reduce its population to bring it in line with other area ridings by moving the area west of Bradner Road and south of the Trans- Canada Highway into Langley-Aldergrove. Abbotsford West Abbotsford West includes the northwest part of Abbotsford and the communities of Clayburn, Matsqui, Riverside, Gifford and Mount Lehman. We propose to move the areas west of Bradner Road and north of the Trans-Canada Highway into Langley-Aldergrove to better balance its population with neighbouring ridings. Chilliwack-Cultus Lake This riding includes part of the current Chilliwack-Kent electoral district south of the Fraser River, uniting it with other South Fraser communities of Sardis, Rosedale, Bridal Falls, Popkum and Cultus Lake. We propose moving Harrison Hot Springs and the District of Kent into Fraser-Nicola to better balance the population of both ridings. Chilliwack North This riding is centred on downtown Chilliwack and includes Greendale, Yarrow and Sumas Mountain, as well as Deroche, Dewdney and the areas north of the Fraser River around Harrison Lake that were previously in the riding of Chilliwack-Kent. Adding communities north of the Fraser River to this riding brings its population in line with neighbouring electoral districts. Langley-Aldergrove Langley-Aldergrove is based on the existing electoral district of Langley East. It includes most of the Township of Langley, as well as Fort Langley and Forest Knolls. We propose extending its eastern boundary to include Aldergrove. The communities in this riding are connected by the Fraser Highway and Highway 1. Langley-Murrayville Langley-Murrayville contains much of the existing electoral district of Langley, which includes the core of downtown Langley and the rural areas south to the Canada- U.S. border. We propose adding the neighbouring community of Murrayville to this riding to ensure its population is comparable to the new electoral district of Langley-Willoughby located on the northern boundary of this riding. Langley-Willoughby We propose combining parts of the existing electoral districts of Langley and Langley East to create this new riding extending north from the City of Langley to the Fraser River. It includes the Willowbrook and Willoughby neighbourhoods as well as the western part of Walnut Grove. The proposed boundaries anticipate continued rapid population growth in light of planned new rapid-transportation corridors. Maple Ridge East Maple Ridge East is situated on the north bank of the Fraser River and comprises much of the current electoral district of Maple Ridge-Mission. We propose boundary adjustments to shift the core Page 191 of 308

Page 192

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 123 of Mission into the adjacent riding of Abbotsford-Mission. Maple Ridge East extends west from the rural area outside of downtown Mission to 224th Street in Maple Ridge. It includes the communities of Stave Falls, Silverhill, Ruskin, Whonnock, Websters Corners and Albion. Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows This riding is bounded by the Fraser River to the south and the Pitt River to the west. It contains Pitt Meadows and part of Maple Ridge west of 224th Street, including the neighbourhoods of Hammond and Haney. It also covers the northwest portion of the Fraser Valley Regional District and the communities of William’s Landing and Alvin. To better balance the populations of the Maple Ridge ridings and to accommodate projected population growth, we propose moving the neighbourhood of Yennadon into Maple Ridge East. Page 192 of 308

136 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 14: BURNABY, B.C. CREDIT: ROSHAN RAJ AUGUST 5, 2021 is strong connectivity and a high level of socio-economic interdependence. We propose adding an electoral district to the area and making consequential boundary adjustments. With these adjustments, our proposals also include name changes to six ridings. We consider it more important to ensure room for growth in all ridings in this area by keeping populations balanced than to adhere to existing municipal boundaries where they would create districts with This area currently consists of nine electoral districts between the Fraser and Pitt Rivers, Burrard Inlet and the City of Vancouver. It includes Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and New Westminster (except Queensborough). Proposing adjustments to electoral boundaries in this area is challenging because of its rapid rate of population growth and the fact that two ridings are close to the top of the usual deviation range. In addition to this, New Westminster’s population is too large for a single riding but too small for two electoral districts. Based on what we heard, we understand that neighbourhood cores in this area have distinct identities but their boundaries are relatively fluid. The area has many transportation corridors including well established public transit networks. There Page 205 of 308

Page 206

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 137 very different numbers of residents. In part, this is because young voters told us that they feel their votes are less valuable because of overpopulation in these electoral districts. Although some people told us that the area needs two new electoral districts, we believe that our proposal for one additional riding is sufficient to bring all electoral districts in the area within the usual deviation range with room for growth. People expressed different opinions about whether the New Westminster neighbourhood of Queensborough, which was moved into Richmond-Delta in the last electoral boundary adjustment, should remain in a Richmond riding or return to New Westminster. We propose keeping it in a Richmond riding because moving it would neither improve effective representation nor better balance electoral district populations. Burnaby Centre We propose a Burnaby Centre riding situated on the west side of the city. The district follows Boundary Road in the west; a line bounded by Highway 1, Douglas Road, the Lougheed Highway and Sperling Avenue in the north; Imperial Street in the east; and Kingsway in the south. It includes Cascade Heights, Garden Village, Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights, uniting some of the fastest growing Burnaby neighbourhoods in one electoral district, with room for its projected rapid growth.

138 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Burnaby East Situated in the northeast corner of Burna- by, bounded by Kensington Avenue, North Road and the Burrard Inlet, we propose boundary adjustments to this electoral district to remove the neighbourhood of Eastburn and to add the part of New Westminster bounded by McBride Boule- vard, E 8th Avenue and Cumberland Street to form its southern boundary. Burnaby-New Westminster We propose that this riding include the Kelvin, Eastburn and Glenbrooke neighbourhoods of New Westminster and the adjacent Middlegate and Edmonds neighbourhoods of Burnaby. The proposed boundaries of this riding are Imperial Street in the north, Griffiths Drive in the west, Sixth Avenue in the south and the line of McBride Boulevard and Newcombe Street in the east. Burnaby North This electoral district on the northwest side of Burnaby contains the neighbourhoods of Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Willingdon Heights and Brentwood Park. We propose balancing its population with neighbouring districts by moving the portion of the current riding south of Highway 1, Douglas Road and the Lougheed Highway into Burnaby Centre. Burnaby South This riding sits between the Fraser River in the south and Kingsway in the north. It includes the Metrotown, Suncrest and South Slope neighbourhoods of Burnaby and New Westminster’s Connaught Heights. Adding the area around Metrotown south of Kingsway, as we propose, keeps this rapidly growing Skytrain corridor in one riding. Coquitlam-Burke Mountain Coquitlam-Burke Mountain includes the Eagle Ridge, River Springs and Sun Valley neighbourhoods. Given that its population is near the top of the usual deviation range, we propose moving Westwood Plateau out of this riding and into the adjacent riding of Port Moody-Westwood Plateau. This ensures that Coquitlam-Burke Mountain has room for growth. Coquitlam-Mundy Park This electoral district includes the Harbour Chines, Cariboo, Austin Heights, Fraser Mills, Ranch Park and Mayfair neighbourhoods. It follows North Road in the west and the Fraser River to the south, and it extends as far north as the Canadian Pacific Railway line. We propose moving Maillardville into the neighbouring riding of New Westminster-Maillardville. We also propose adjusting the eastern boundary of Coquitlam-Mundy Park to include both kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation reserves in this riding. New Westminster-Maillardville The population of the current electoral district of New Westminster is large and growing quickly. To address this, we propose moving some of its more residential areas into adjacent electoral districts in Burnaby. The riding boundaries we propose encompass downtown New Westminster south of Sixth Avenue, and the neighbourhoods of Queen’s Park, Sapperton and Brunette Creek. We have also added the historically Francophone Page 207 of 308

Page 208

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 139 community of Maillardville. This riding now extends as far north and east as Austin Avenue and Schoolhouse Street. Port Coquitlam This electoral district is expected to continue growing at a moderate rate. This riding follows the municipal boundaries of the City of Port Coquitlam. The only change we propose is to move the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation reserve (Coquitlam 2) into neighbouring Coquitlam-Mundy Park so that both Kwikwetlem reserves are in the same electoral district. Port Moody-Westwood Plateau We propose that this electoral district include the communities of Port Moody, Belcarra and Anmore, as well as the Coquitlam neighbourhood of Westwood Plateau and part of Burquitlam. This riding will extend as far south as Smith Avenue and north to Indian Arm Provincial Park. This proposal makes its population comparable to its neighbours. Page 208 of 308

152 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 15: SKYTRAIN STATION, SURREY, B.C. CREDIT: PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. SEPTEMBER 6, 2008 They told us that the value of a vote in Surrey is significantly less than the value of a vote in the province’s most sparsely populated ridings. Some people said that this is especially troubling because Surrey’s population is more racialized than the populations of other parts of the province. We agree that it is imperative to ensure that the populations of all Surrey ridings both fall within the usual deviation range and have room for the population growth that is projected to occur before The Surrey area currently consists of nine ridings located between the Fraser River and the Canada-U.S. border. It covers the Cities of Surrey and White Rock. The riding is geographically diverse, containing a dense metropolitan core, several other urban areas, rapidly expanding suburbs and large tracts of agricultural land. It is also one of the most culturally diverse parts of the province and its population is growing very quickly. At present, two ridings, Surrey-Panorama and Surrey South, are significantly higher than the usual deviation range, at 36% and 45% respectively, calling the principle of representation by population into question. Surrey area residents expressed great concern about inequality of voting power. Page 221 of 308

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 153 the next electoral boundary commission review. To that end, we propose adding a new electoral district in the centre of Surrey, with consequent changes to the boundaries of eight neighbouring ridings. We also propose four name changes that reflect the communities within those ridings. We have tried to avoid dividing neighbourhoods wherever possible without compromising our goal of having ridings with similar population size and room for growth. Surrey Central The boundaries we propose for this electrical district, situated in the middle of Surrey, encompass the neighbourhoods east of Newton town centre, south of Fleetwood and up to Cloverdale town centre. Moving these areas from the existing ridings of Surrey-Newton, Surrey- Panorama and Surrey-Cloverdale electoral districts brings together less densely populated neighbourhoods, agricultural land and recreation spaces in one riding. Surrey City Centre We propose to situate this riding in Surrey’s core, a dense and rapidly growing urban area. It contains a large part of the current Surrey-Whalley electoral district from 132nd Street east to the Surrey-Guildford and Surrey-Fleetwood borders, including the Bridgeview neighbourhood, Green Timbers Urban Forest Park and Bear Creek Park. It also includes the neighbourhoods south of Surrey Memorial Hospital to 88th Avenue.

154 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 Surrey East This electoral district includes the eastern parts of Cloverdale and Fleetwood. We propose adjusting its boundaries to include more of the Cloverdale area currently in Surrey South. We propose this name change to more accurately describe the riding. Surrey-Fleetwood This riding contains the town centre of Fleetwood and adjacent neighbourhoods such as Johnson Heights. We propose reducing its population by adjusting its southern and eastern boundaries. We consider it important to keep the core of Fleetwood within one riding while better balancing its population with adjacent districts. Surrey-Guildford Surrey-Guildford contains the town centre of Guildford, Port Mann, Fraser Heights, Tynehead, Annidale and Port Kells. While most of the current district boundaries remain unchanged, we propose moving the southern boundary down to 88th Avenue at Highway 15, including more of southern Port Kells. Our proposal keeps these neighbourhoods along the south bank of the Fraser River in the same riding. Surrey-Newton Our proposed electoral district of Surrey- Newton includes parts of the current Surrey-Green Timbers and Surrey-Newton ridings, including Newton town centre, Strawberry Hill and the areas around King George Boulevard north of 64th Avenue. The proposed boundaries reflect the need to accommodate projected growth. Surrey North This proposed riding is based on the cur- rent electoral districts of Surrey-Whalley and Surrey-Green Timbers. Located in the northwest corner of Surrey, it extends from Surrey’s industrial core at 80th Av- enue up to the south arm of the Fraser River, including the northern part of New- ton and the western part of Whalley. Its primary eastern boundary is 132nd Street. Our proposal moves Surrey’s downtown areas to the new Surrey City Centre riding and adds more of the Newton area south of Whalley into this riding. This keeps sim- ilar neighbourhoods together. Surrey-Panorama This riding, straddling the King George Highway north of Highway 10, is significantly over-populated. We propose moving the neighbourhoods south of Highway 10, including Colebrook, into Surrey South. Doing so brings Surrey- Panorama’s population within the usual deviation range. Surrey South The Surrey South riding is currently the most over-populated riding in the province. We propose adjusting its boundaries to include Mud Bay, Colebrook, Crescent, Grandview, Hazelmere and Douglas, and to move the neighbourhoods east of Cloverdale town centre into Surrey- Cloverdale. This reduces Surrey South’s population and makes it comparable to other Surrey ridings. Page 223 of 308

Page 224

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 155 Surrey-White Rock This electoral district includes the City of White Rock and adjacent Surrey neighbourhoods of Ocean Park and Crescent Beach. We did not hear concerns about its current boundaries, and its current population and projected population growth keep it within the usual deviation range. As a result, we propose no changes to this district. Page 224 of 308

168 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 16: FARM IN DELTA, B.C. CREDIT: PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. AUGUST 5, 2008 We did not hear Queensborough residents express concern about the effectiveness of their representation. Therefore, we do not propose any change for Queensborough, but do propose relatively minor adjustments to the boundaries of all six Richmond-Delta ridings to better balance their populations. With these adjustments, our proposals also include name changes for two ridings. Delta North Delta North contains the northeast part of the City of Delta. It includes the Richmond-Delta’s six electoral districts lie at the mouth of the Fraser River. They include the Cities of Richmond and Delta, and the Queensborough neighbourhood of the City of New Westminster. Some told us that projected population growth means a new riding is needed in this area. However, many were satisfied with the current electoral boundaries. We heard a division of opinion over whether Queensborough should or should not be moved back into a New Westminster riding. Queensborough was moved from New Westminster into Richmond after the 2015 Commission’s final report in order to improve population parity between neighbouring ridings. We heard that Queensborough has ties to both New Westminster and Richmond. Page 237 of 308

Page 238

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 169 densely populated neighbourhoods of North Delta and Townsend. We propose moving the area south of 64th Avenue out of this riding and into Delta South. This will distribute the populations of these two ridings more evenly and create room for anticipated population growth in Delta North. Delta South Delta South includes Ladner, Tsawwassen, Parkdale Gardens, Boundary Bay and agricultural lands. Moving the area south of 64th Avenue into this riding keeps the area around Watershed Memorial Park in one electoral district. Richmond-Bridgeport This electoral district covers the northwest part of Richmond, including Vancouver International Airport and the neighbourhoods of Thompson and Burkeville. We propose moving Bridgeport into this riding and moving the neighbourhoods east of No. 2 Road and south of the Westminster Highway into Richmond Centre. This adjustment keeps similar neighbourhoods in the same riding. Richmond Centre We propose boundary adjustments to this riding that reflect its shared urban interests. It contains Richmond’s downtown core, Brighouse and Broadmoor, and it extends to the dense urban area along No. 3 Road south of the Westminster Highway. Our proposal moves the residential area south of Blundell Road and west of Gilbert Road into the adjacent Richmond- Steveston district, uniting these suburban communities. Richmond-Queensborough This riding encompasses Queensborough on Lulu Island and the Richmond neigh- bourhood of Southarm. We propose mov- ing the Bridgeport neighbourhood out of this riding and into Richmond-Bridgeport.

180 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 17: VANCOUVER, BC CREDIT: ELECTIONS BC. AUGUST 4, 2019 For example, a number of people told us that southern False Creek has little in common with downtown Vancouver, and we propose moving it out of that riding. We propose name changes for five Vancouver electoral districts to more accurately reflect the communities within them. Vancouver-Fraserview This electoral district runs between Burnaby and the Fraser River, taking in The Vancouver area presently consists of 11 electoral districts covering the City of Vancouver and the University of British Columbia Endowment Lands. It is composed of urban neighbourhoods of varying density, most of which have grown significantly over the last eight years. Some electoral districts are currently close to or over the usual deviation range and the population of the area continues to grow. We therefore propose creating a new riding in this area with adjustments to nine neighbouring electoral districts. We heard from residents of a number of Vancouver communities about their distinct identities, and we have tried to draw boundaries to respect the borders of those neighbourhoods as much as possible, consistent with ensuring that the populations of these ridings are balanced. Page 249 of 308

Page 250

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 181 the Victoria-Fraserview, Killarney and Champlain Heights neighbourhoods. We propose moving part of the Sunset neighbourhood south of 53rd Avenue and west of Inverness Street and Khalsa Diwan Road from this electoral district into Vancouver-Langara, which better balances the populations of both ridings. Vancouver-Hastings This electoral district sits between Com- mercial Drive to the west and Boundary Road to the east. It includes Hastings-Sun- rise and Still Creek, and the eastern part of Grandview-Woodlands. We are not proposing any changes to its boundaries. Vancouver-Kensington This electoral district lies south of Kingsway and includes the southern half of Kensington-Cedar Cottage. It extends west to include Mountain View Cemetery. To better balance the population with its neighbours, we propose moving the area north of 41st Avenue and west of Prince Edward Street, and the area north of King Edward Avenue and west of Fraser Street, into Vancouver-Little Mountain. Vancouver-Langara Vancouver-Langara runs from the Fraser River north to Oakridge. It includes Langara, Marpole, and the western part of TABLE 20: VANCOUVER POPULATION, DEVIATION AND AREA SOURCE: 2021 STATISTICS CANADA CENSUS COUNT Electoral District Population Deviation (%) Area (sq km) Vancouver-Fraserview 58,686 9.1 12 Vancouver-Hastings 58,095 8.0 14 Vancouver-Kensington 56,840 5.7 8 Vancouver-Langara 57,806 7.5 12 Vancouver-Little Mountain 56,766 5.6 11 Vancouver-Point Grey 58,183 8.2 42 Vancouver-Quilchena 55,531 3.3 23 Vancouver-South Granville 56,134 4.4 7 Vancouver-Strathcona 54,588 1.5 12 Vancouver-Trout Lake 56,922 5.9 8 Vancouver-West End 57,332 6.6 14 Vancouver-Yaletown 55,307 2.9 3 Total/Average 682,190 5.7 166 Page 250 of 308

182 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 the Sunset neighbourhood. We propose moving the area around Queen Elizabeth Park into Vancouver-Little Mountain, and the area west of Granville Street into Vancouver-Quilchena. We propose adding part of the Sunset neighbourhood south of 53rd Avenue into this riding. These adjustments reduce the district’s population and make it more comparable to adjacent ridings. Vancouver-Little Mountain Vancouver-Little Mountain is centred on Queen Elizabeth Park. We propose adding to it the neighbourhoods of South Cambie, Riley Park, the eastern part of Shaughnessy, Mount Pleasant west of Kingsway and Olympic Village. We propose that its southern boundary follows 41st Avenue east to Cambie Street and then along 44th Avenue. We propose that Oak Ridge, Fairview and Marpole move into Vancouver-Langara. Vancouver-Point Grey Vancouver-Point Grey lies in the westernmost part of Vancouver. It includes the UBC Endowment Lands, Point Grey, the western part of Kitsilano and part of Dunbar to the west of Wallace Street. We propose moving the part of Kitsilano east of Balsam Street into Vancouver-South Granville to make Vancouver-Point Grey slightly smaller, so its population is similar to other electoral districts in the west side of Vancouver. Vancouver-Quilchena This riding includes the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation reserve, Arbutus Ridge, Kerrisdale, Southlands and most of Dunbar. We propose adding the part of Kerrisdale west of Granville Street into this riding, and moving part of the current Dunbar-Southlands riding west of Wallace Street into Vancouver-Point Grey. Vancouver-South Granville This riding lies south of the Granville Street bridge. It includes South Granville and Fairview. We propose moving its western boundary to include the part of Kitsilano running east of Balsam Street. This balances the population of this riding with its neighbours. Vancouver-Strathcona This riding includes Strathcona, China- town, and parts of Grandview-Woodland, Kensington-Cedar Cottage and Mount Pleasant. We propose moving Gastown into Vancouver-Yaletown, and Mount Pleasant south of Kingsway into Vancou- ver-Little Mountain to ensure the popula- tion of Vancouver-Strathcona stays in line with its neighbouring ridings. Vancouver-Trout Lake This East Vancouver riding includes Trout Lake, Renfrew Heights and part of Renfrew-Collingwood south of the Grandview Highway. We propose moving the area south of Kingsway and west of Rupert Street into Vancouver-Kensington to better balance the populations of these ridings. Vancouver-West End This downtown riding runs west from Burrard Street, encompassing the West End and Coal Harbour. We are not proposing any changes to its boundaries. Page 251 of 308

Page 252

PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 | 183 Vancouver-Yaletown This downtown riding includes Yaletown, Gastown and downtown Vancouver east of Burrard Street. The current population of this riding, presently called Vancou- ver-False Creek, is more than 25% over the electoral quotient. To address this, we propose moving the south side of False Creek out of this riding and dividing it between Vancouver-Little Mountain and Vancouver-South Granville. We agree with those who told us that southern False Creek has stronger ties to Fairview and Mount Pleasant than to downtown, and that the waterway forms a natural bound- ary. We also propose moving Gastown from Vancouver-Strathcona into this the Vancouver-Yaletown riding because it is closely tied to downtown and Yaletown. Page 252 of 308

198 | PRELIMINARY REPORT 2022 IMAGE 18: STAWAMUS CHIEF MOUNTAIN SQUAMISH, B.C. CRED- IT: TOM WHEATLEY. JUNE 8, 2022 North Vancouver-Lonsdale North Vancouver-Lonsdale includes North Vancouver’s urban core, Lower Lonsdale and Norgate. Moving North Lonsdale and the area east of Lynn Creek out of this riding, as we propose, reduces its population to allow room for growth. North Vancouver-Seymour This riding includes the communities of Lynn Valley, Dollarton, Deep Cove and the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation. We propose The North Shore-Sea to Sky-Sunshine Coast area is made up of five electoral districts. They include the north shore of Burrard Inlet, the Highway 99 corridor and the Sunshine Coast. The area’s population is concentrated in the Cities of North Vancouver and West Vancouver, and travel outside them is challenging because of mountain roads and dependence on ferries. Some people told us that the Sea to Sky corridor should have its own riding, distinct from West Vancouver. We understand that the Sea to Sky corridor has an identity and interests distinct from West Vancouver; however, it is not growing at a rate that supports the addition of an electoral district at this time. Our proposals adjust the boundaries of four of these five electoral districts to distribute the population more evenly, allowing for projected population growth. Page 267 of 308

Powell River-Sunshine Coast This riding consists of the Sunshine Coast and adjacent islands, stretching north to the boundary with the Regional District of Mount Waddington. It includes the communities of Gibsons, Roberts Creek, Sechelt and Powell River. We did not hear any concerns about its current boundaries and its population falls within the usual deviation range. We do not propose any changes to this district. West Vancouver-Capilano This electoral district consists of West Vancouver’s city centre, Pemberton Heights, Ambleside, Park Royal, Dunderave and Sandy Cove. We propose extending its boundaries to include the neighbourhoods south of the Upper Levels Highway in order to better balance riding populations. West Vancouver-Sea to Sky West Vancouver-Sea to Sky contains the residential neighbourhoods of West Vancouver, as well as Bowen Island, Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. It presents a challenge because it has a large and fast-growing population, but it is not yet big enough to warrant two distinct ridings. We did not want to move Bowen Island out of this riding and into Powell River-Sunshine Coast because Bowen Island’s ferry connection is to Horseshoe Bay. Instead, we propose reducing the population of this riding by adjusting its border with West Vancouver-Capilano. We propose that the boundary run north along Cypress Creek and then follow the Upper Levels Highway east before continuing north along Rodgers Creek.
