Electoral District Names
The Commission found no
need and had no request to alter the name of any rural electoral district.
However, in our opinion, some change was called for in the names of urban
electoral districts.
It was not many decades ago that the City of Winnipeg
consisted of four electoral districts easily described as North, North Centre,
South and South Centre. There are now eight electoral districts with many more
people and with less obvious boundaries. After much deliberation, we did make
several changes to urban names. We know that there is not universal approval
for all of our conclusions. Nonetheless, we think that our Proposals will be
easily understood by electors and that they comply with the guidelines issued
by the Geographic Names Board of Canada.
