How Divisional Boundary Options Are Evaluated

When reviewing or altering divisional boundaries, Council considers multiple factors to ensure balanced and effective representation across the municipality. These factors include, but are not limited to:

• Population and alignment with the 15% variance requirement
• Land area and physical size of each division
• Employment areas and economic sectors
• Potential growth and future development patterns
• Natural or other physical barriers
• Citizen input, including survey responses and open house feedback

These criteria help guide the development of boundary options that are practical, equitable, and reflective of the RM’s long‑term needs.
