A group tasked with taking a look at federal riding boundaries has redrawn the local riding and cut a Member of Parliament from Northern Ontario in favour of adding extra representation in the south.
The new riding for the area is Kapuskasing-Timmins-Mushkegowuk. It starts in the Kirkland Lake area, capturing communities along Highway 11 North and extends up to Peawanuck. It has a population of 93,948. With the changes, Englehart, Earlton, Thornloe and Elk Lake will be part of the new North Bay riding. Angus says cutting a line through Temiskaming was done without any input from affected residents.
