Appeal of municipal ward boundary by-law dismissed; 7-ward configuration emerged organically from public consultation.
The appellant appealed the passage of a municipal by-law establishing a new 7-ward boundary configuration, arguing that the option was not presented during public consultations and was therefore unfair.
The respondent municipality presented expert evidence that the 7-ward option emerged organically from public feedback and met the guiding principles for effective representation.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontested expert evidence, finding no grounds to overturn the municipal council's decision, and dismissed the appeal.
