Politicians back revised Peace Region electoral boundary plan
Peace region politicians applauded amendments from the Electoral Boundaries Commission after strong opposition to last year. The proposal restores the Peace River as the line between North and South Peace with Cecil Lake and part Taylor moving back to North Peace. The changes shift voter counts by about 22 to 48 percent from the provincial average, with Tim Caton praising the outcome as what they lobbied for.

Hudson's Hope leaders push for guaranteed rural representation as the province drafts electoral boundary legislation. A northern and Cariboo riding are slated to disappear, with officials urging geography or economics to guide maps and a mandate to prevent any area from losing representation. The province has not pledged to adopt all commission recommendations.
