The Niverville Citizen distributes to the residents and businesses of eight towns within a 25-kilometre circle of each other: Niverville, Île-des-Chênes, Ste. Agathe, Tourond, Otterburne, New Bothwell, St. Adolphe, and Landmark. But for the purposes of provincial elections, this tight-knit region is chopped up into four different electoral districts—Morris, Dawson Trail, Steinbach, and Emerson.
Many of these boundaries changed in 2011. For example, Niverville, which had for decades fallen within the boundaries of the Steinbach district, found itself aligned with Morris and the many communities west of the Red River.
To help make your decision easier, and to help you locate your electoral district, we’ve included a map of the local ridings and a breakdown of the candidates up for election in your area.
We encourage our readers to be informed when you head to the polls on April 19.
