Boundary Study for Electoral Area F

The purpose of the Boundary Study is to recommend a boundary within Electoral Area F that could be explored in a potential future incorporation study.  This survey will be open from June 1 – 15, 2025.

If an incorporation study were to proceed in the future, only residents within the boundary would have the opportunity to vote on whether to incorporate as a municipality. 

As an initial step, three boundary options were developed by consultants based on technical criteria, including:

• Future development plans and land-use categories
• Population (current and projected)
• Local government services
• Local road networks and associated infrastructure
• Property assessment classes and values
• ALR and Farm Class inventories
• Proposed Treaty Settlement Lands, Crown Lands and privately managed forest lands 

Feedback was collected from residents on the three boundary options at two community meetings in May 2025. Some changes have been made to properties on the edges of the boundary options in response to feedback provided. Other changes will be considered once additional feedback has been gathered through the survey. 

Please take a moment to review the Frequently Asked Questions, as well as information presented at the community meetings regarding the boundary options, prior to completing the survey.
