New Electoral Districts

The Municipal Government Act (MGA) required every municipality to conduct a boundary review and apply to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) in 2006 to "confirm or alter the number and boundaries of polling districts and numbers of Council."

The Municipality will retain 11 districts, but all of the boundaries of these districts have been altered. You will find a link to the new electoral district map below. We also published a list of communities which are in the various districts in the March 2008 County Newsletter. You will also find links to the May 2007 and November 2007 decisions of the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board.
