Public meetings will be held next week to discuss the possible size of populations and boundaries of City electoral wards, such as Ward 26 (Leaside) and Ward 22 (Davisville). The meeting closest to South Bayview in general will be at S. Walter Stewart Library, 170 Memorial Park Ave on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 beginning at 6 p.m. A news release today (Friday, January 2, 2015) suggests that populations of wards may be as much as 30 to 50 percent above the targeted average of 60,958. City boundaries are of course numbered but they are also fitted inside the boundaries of federal constituencies, two to a constituency. The federal boundaries have names and thus Ward 26 has inherited the name Don Valley West. The federal lines have just been re-drawn and will form the basis on which voters elect the new Parliament in a general election expected this year. Other municipal boundary meetings will be held Thursday, January 8 and Saturday, January 10 at Parkdale Library, 1303 Queen St. W., and Trinity St. Paul’s Church, 427 Bloor St. W. respectively. These three meetings are part of a two-stage public consultation process. Additional information, including meeting times, locations and the full calendar of the review’s public consultation meetings, is available at http://www.drawthelines.ca.Ward boundaries reviewed at public meeting
