Electoral Divisional Boundary Review Public Open House

The Rural Municipality of Edenwold No. 158 (RM) is conducting a review of all electoral divisional boundaries and invites RM ratepayers to participate through both an open house and/or an online survey.

Why a Review Is Being Conducted

Under Section 49.1 of The Municipalities Act and the RM’s Division Boundary Alteration Policy, electoral divisions must remain as equal in population as reasonably practicable.

The 2021 Census population counts were released in 2022. Council has directed Administration to initiate the review in response to significant and ongoing population changes. Several divisions now fall outside the policy’s 15% population variance, requiring updates to ensure fair and effective representation.

At the open house, ratepayers will have the opportunity to learn about current population imbalances, review proposed boundary options, and ask questions.
