Hall and Norway Islands,
now part of the Saanich
North and Islands electoral

district, may become part of
: the

-Cowichan-Ladysmith
district if the legislature ap-

proves a proposed change.
' - Submissions...from = the:

community asked that the

tied to Thetis Island, and it

was felt that they should all

be in the same electoral dis-
trict; says Lisa Martz of the

- Electoral Boundaries Com-

mission office. :
Other submissions to the

Electoral Boundaries Coim-
mission suggested that the
islands within the Islands
Trust should have their own

‘electoral district, but the

commission ‘didn’t recom-
mend that change.

~ To uphold the policy of
representation by popula-
tion, one of the factors that
is used to decide on bound-

° ~~ -- aries is the number of peo-
two islands be transferred. 7

because they are closely.

ple within each electoral dis-
trict.

The standard population
for an electoral district,
called an electoral quota, is
47,146. The population of
the Gulf Islands is roughly

22,000; While it is possible

to vary from the quota by 25

per cent in either direction,
the Islands’ population ‘is
52.6 per cent smaller. That’s
too much of a difference un-
less there are “very special
circumstances,” says Martz.

She uses the Bulkley Val-
ley-Stikine district as an ex-
ample, where the area is so
huge, about 200,000 square

‘kilometres, that it’s not prac-

tical to make it even bigger
just to make up the popula-
tion quota.

The EBC made its first
report. to the legislature in
December, and held public
hearings for feedback ear-
lier this spring. It will make
its final recommendations
on June 3.

found in the home is a C1ass D fire, These

require a special dry powder extinguisher.

The identifying marks for each of

Crass B-A square (may. be red) with a
B inside:

Crass C- A circle (may be blue) with a

“You must use the right kind of eiitine
guisher for each kind of fire.

-For Class A fires use water-based extin-
guishers or multi-purpose dry chemical

For Band C fires use carbon dioxide or
dry chemical

For Class A, B or C fires use mullti-pur-
pose dry chemical

Remember, using the wrong type of cx:
tinguisher can make a fire worse. Never
use water on a Class B fire (it could scat-

fire, Water conducts electricity and could
give you'ashock. |
