FEDERAL ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES COMMISSION FOR ALBERTA

ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES READJUSTMENT ACT

PROPOSALS

PART I

Introduction

Under the Canadian Constitution the number of members of Parliament for each province, as well as the boundaries of the federal electoral districts, must be readjusted following each decennial census to take into account population growths, shifts and changes. The process is carried out under the federal Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the "Act."

The Act provides for the appointment in each province of an independent commission to determine the sizes, boundaries and names of federal electoral districts. The current Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Alberta was established on April 16, 2002. The Honourable Mr. Justice Edward MacCallum was appointed Chairman by the Chief Justice of Alberta. The two other members, named by the Speaker of the House of Commons, are Ms. Ritu Khullar and Dr. Donald Barry.

Paragraph 15(1)(a) of the Act requires the Commission to create electoral districts whose population shall correspond as closely as reasonably possible to the electoral quota, or average electoral district size, for the province. According to the formula in effect at the time of the 2001 census, the number of seats in the House of Commons is to be increased from 301 to 308. Because Alberta's population increased substantially from 1991 to 2001, the province's current allocation of twenty-six (26) House of Commons seats will be increased to twenty-eight (28). This number is calculated by dividing the 2001 population of Alberta, which was 2,974,807, by the electoral quota of 106,243.

The Act is concerned with more than representation by population, however. Paragraph 15(1)(b) continues as follows:

(b) the commission shall consider the following in determining reasonable electoral district boundaries:

(i) the community of interest or community of identity in or the historical pattern of an electoral district in the province, and

(ii) a manageable geographic size for districts in sparsely populated, rural or northern regions of the province.

To accommodate such considerations, subsection 15(2) of the Act permits electoral districts to vary from the electoral quota. Except in "extraordinary" circumstances, however, the Commission "shall make every effort to ensure that ... the population of each electoral district in the province remains within twenty-five per cent more or twenty-five per cent less of the electoral quota for the province." This means that Alberta's electoral districts should not exceed a maximum electoral district population of 132,804 or a minimum population of 79,682.

Part II of these proposals gives an overview of the recommendations of the Commission in regard to each of the 28 electoral districts. Detailed legal descriptions and populations for each electoral district are provided in Schedule A of these proposals. Schedule B of these proposals is a list of the 28 electoral districts with their populations and the percentage by which they vary from the electoral quota. Schedule C contains the maps showing the proposed electoral districts. The Act calls for public hearings allowing the Commission to receive comments on the proposals. The public hearings will be held in selected centres throughout the province between October 7 and October 24, 2002. The schedule and the locations for these hearings are set out in Part III of these proposals under the heading "Notice of Public Hearings." Newspaper advertisements about these hearings will appear in the beginning of August 2002. The Commission has adopted rules for the conduct of, and representation to, these public hearings and these rules are set out in Part IV hereof.

PART II

Proposed Boundary Revisions: Overview and Explanations

The addition of two new seats together with the shift in population to urban centres have led the Commission to recommend major changes in the distribution of Alberta's electoral districts. In so doing, the Commission has been very mindful of constitutional and statutory requirements. The Commission has not identified any extraordinary circumstances that would justify departing from the normal 25 percent deviation limit. In no case is the population of any proposed electoral district more than 25 percent above or more than 25 percent below the electoral quota of 106,243. The largest electoral district recommended by the Commission has a 2001 decennial census population of 121,957, or 14.79 percent above the electoral quota; the smallest has a population of 88,544, or 16.67 percent below the electoral quota. The population of most of the proposed electoral districts is close to the province's electoral quota: 82 percent are within 10 percent, 50 percent are within 5 percent, and 25 percent are within 2 percent. In drawing the proposed boundaries, moreover, the Commission has attempted to take into account information regarding areas of growth and recent development that are not reflected in the 2001 decennial census.

The 2001 census data shows that there has been rapid population growth in the two large urban centres of Calgary and Edmonton, although the patterns differ somewhat. The Commission is of the view that it is important to provide for effective representation for voters in these large urban areas. The City of Calgary ("Calgary") has grown rapidly within its municipal boundaries and the Commission recommends that one of the new seats in Alberta go to Calgary, which will bring its total to eight. The City of Edmonton's ("Edmonton") population has also grown, but the surrounding urban population has increased even more. The Commission proposes that in order to adequately reflect the urban voter in Edmonton and its environs, the region be reconfigured into eight electoral districts. The Commission believes that the recommended changes will not only meet the representational needs of Calgary and the Edmonton region, but also restore the historical equality of representation between the two. In addition, the Commission recommends that a new electoral district of Red Deer be established in the increasingly populated corridor between Edmonton and Calgary. The remainder of the province will have 11 seats, some of which have undergone boundary changes.

City of Calgary

In 2001, Calgary's population was 878,866, or 168,071 more than the 1991 census. Dividing this number by eight would give Calgary's electoral districts an average population of 109,858, which is 3.4 percent above the electoral quota. The Commission proposes to add a new Calgary electoral district in a way that maintains the city's traditional "hub-perimeter" pattern of representation, based on a relatively stable inner city population and rapidly growing suburbs. Accordingly, it recommends that two new electoral districts: Calgary North Centre and Calgary South Centre be created in central Calgary. The former consists of the northern portion of the current Calgary Centre electoral district, the southern portion of Calgary—Nose Hill and the western section of Calgary Northeast. The latter is an amalgam of the southern portion of the existing Calgary Centre electoral district, the eastern section of Calgary West and the northern portion of Calgary Southwest. The Commission also recommends that the electoral district of Calgary East, which has experienced more modest population growth than other perimeter electoral districts, be extended southward to include the northern portion of the Calgary Southeast electoral district. These changes will allow the remaining electoral districts: Calgary—Nose Hill, Calgary Northeast, Calgary West, Calgary Southwest, and Calgary Southeast, to accommodate anticipated population growth.

The Edmonton Region

Edmonton is surrounded by eight sizable communities, the furthest of which is about 10 kilometres from the city limits. These are: St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Devon and Beaumont. According to the 2001 census, Edmonton's population is 666,104; that of the surrounding area is approximately 181,000; therefore, the combined population of Edmonton and its surrounding area ("the Edmonton Region") is approximately 847,104. Dividing this population by eight seats yields an average electoral district size of 105,888 or 1 percent below the electoral quota.

The Commission notes there has been growing recognition that although the Edmonton Region encompasses several distinct and historically unique communities, there are many points of common interest and co-operation concerning coordination of infrastructure, transportation, health care and services. These include: the Capital Region Wastewater Commission (which coordinates wastewater transmission and treatment), the Alberta Capital Region Alliance (which focuses on developing transportation priorities), the Edmonton Regional Airport Authority, and the Capital Health Authority (which provides core health services to the region). A large proportion of the wage earners in surrounding communities work in Edmonton. Cultural and recreational facilities are shared and used by members of all communities within the Edmonton Region, and there is growing co-operation in the area of economic development.

It is the view of the Commission that in terms of geography and community interest, the populations of the metropolitan Edmonton area have more in common with Edmonton than the rural communities beyond them.

With these factors in mind the Commission recommends the following changes to the Edmonton Region. A portion of the current electoral district of Edmonton West becomes Edmonton Centre. It incorporates the established communities in the central area of Edmonton into one electoral district. The new electoral district of Edmonton North contains portions of the existing electoral districts of Edmonton Centre-East and Edmonton North. Both the new Edmonton North and Edmonton Centre contain relatively stable populations and are not expected to grow dramatically. Edmonton—Strathcona's southern boundary is changed to reflect the natural dividing line of Whitemud Drive. These three electoral districts are bordered by five electoral districts that extend beyond the municipal boundaries of Edmonton to the surrounding urban communities. These are: Edmonton— St. Albert, which includes north Edmonton and St. Albert (population 53,081); Edmonton—Sherwood Park, which includes the northeastern part of Edmonton, Fort Saskatchewan (population 13,121), and Sherwood Park (population 49,959); Edmonton—Beaumont, which includes southeast Edmonton and Beaumont (population 7,006); Edmonton—Leduc, which includes southwest Edmonton, Leduc (population 15,032) and Devon (population 4,969); and Edmonton—Spruce Grove, which includes west Edmonton, Spruce Grove (population 15,983) and Stony Plain (population 9,589). The populations of these five greater Edmonton electoral districts are below or slightly above the electoral quota to allow for anticipated future growth.

Rural Electoral Districts

A number of changes are proposed to accommodate the new Edmonton Region electoral districts and the new Red Deer electoral district. The electoral district of Yellowhead gains a portion of the existing St. Albert electoral district and is bounded in the south by the David Thompson Highway. The proposed electoral district of Westlock—St. Paul incorporates portions of the existing Athabasca, St. Albert, Elk Island, and Lakeland electoral districts. The electoral district of Wetaskiwin extends westward to the North Saskatchewan River and eastward to include sections of the existing Crowfoot electoral district. The Commission also recommends the establishment of a new electoral district of Vegreville—Wainwright, bounded in the west by the Wetaskiwin and the Edmonton Region electoral districts, and in the south by the proposed new electoral district of Drumheller.

Because of the dramatic population growth in Airdrie, Cochrane and Canmore the Commission recommends that the existing electoral district, Wild Rose, be divided into two new electoral districts: Banff—Cochrane and Drumheller. The Commission proposes that the eastern boundary of Banff—Cochrane generally follow Highway 2 between Red Deer and Calgary, but deems it advisable to split some communities along this route between the two electoral districts in order to achieve a greater measure of numerical equality. Specifically, Olds and Bowden are in the Drumheller electoral district whereas the rest of the communities are allocated to Banff—Cochrane. Although this arrangement should pose no representational difficulties, the Commission recognizes that there is a commonality of interest among Highway No. 2 communities that cannot be completely observed.

In northern Alberta the existing Athabasca electoral district is renamed Athabasca—Fort McMurray, the southern boundary of which is adjusted to accommodate changes to neighbouring electoral districts and to allow for anticipated increase in the population of Fort McMurray over the next decade. Slight changes are proposed to the boundary of the electoral district of Peace River to include the Woodland Cree Indian Reserve No. 228 in its entirety. It is also recommended that the electoral district be renamed Grande Prairie—Peace River to reflect the two large centres it contains. The higher variances from the electoral quota in these electoral districts reflect the geography and population patterns of northern Alberta.

In the south, minor changes are recommended to the electoral district of Medicine Hat so that it follows the Red Deer River to Drumheller, thence west and south to the Bow River. The electoral district of Macleod is adjusted to take account of the expansion of the Calgary city limits. No changes are proposed to the electoral district of Lethbridge.

Naming of Electoral Districts

According to the Geographical Names Board of Canada the best names for federal electoral districts are those that immediately give a sense of the province and if possible the region or part of the province in which they are located. For this reason, the Commission favours place names. The names chosen are intended to reflect the core of the electoral district. Because of the large size of most Alberta electoral districts, the Commission finds it necessary sometimes to use double names, indicating two of the main population centres in each electoral district. Exceptions are made to this general approach for historical reasons for the electoral districts of Yellowhead, Edmonton—Strathcona and Calgary—Nose Hill.
