Consultation has concluded

Council is elected to make decisions for the Municipality about services, policies, and programs. Councillors are elected from polling districts and are required to make decisions that are in the best interests of the Municipality as a whole and not just the needs of the polling district they represent.

The Municipal Government Act requires every municipality to conduct a study in 2022 on the number and boundaries of polling districts in the municipality, their fairness and reasonableness, and the number of Councillors. After the study is completed, the Municipality must apply to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to confirm or alter the number of Councillors and boundaries of polling districts.

Changes coming from this review will not come into effect until the 2024 Municipal Election.

Please review 2022-12-13 Memo to Council re motion to make NSUARB application in the Documents section, on the right.

    Boundary Review Survey

    Thank you for helping us shape our municipality by taking our survey!

    The reason this survey is being undertaken is to understand resident feedback as part of a requirement of the Municipal Government Act (which requires each council in Nova Scotia to review the boundaries, polling districts and number of councillors every 8 years).

    This survey should take you about 10 minutes to complete and all your responses will be kept strictly anonymous. No effort will be made to identify anyone who completes the survey.

    At this time, we are seeking the opinions of residents of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg aged 14 and older.

    We appreciate your feedback! All who complete the survey will be able to opt in to draw for a $200 gift card to the Best Western Bridgewater.
